Ornamental vegetables"

- Ornamental pepper -

The fruits of the ornamental pepper are very beautiful, small and cute, in all kinds of colors - green, yellow, white, purple, and red, bright and eye-catching. I used to think ornamental peppers were too brightly colored and feared they might be poisonous, so I didn't dare eat them. But after asking others, I found out that ornamental peppers are actually edible and quite useful. They not only have a high capsaicin content and good flavor, but also help with cooling the body, removing dampness, stimulating the appetite, and aiding digestion.

Ornamental peppers are sown in late spring and generally sprout in 5-10 days. The soil should be fertile and well-draining. During the growing period, keeping the potting soil somewhat moist is beneficial for growth. It's best not to water until the soil is dry, and when dry, water thoroughly. During the flowering period, watering should be controlled, otherwise the flowers may drop easily. However, during the fruit ripening period, the soil needs to be kept moist, otherwise the fruits will turn dry and yellow and lose their luster.

Colorful and beautiful, right? I once grew one, and when it was time to harvest, all the neighbors came running to ask for seeds.

- Ornamental kale -

Ornamental kale has beautiful and varied leaf shapes, with colors as brilliant as flowers. It looks like a peony, with rich colors, and is very beautiful!

The suitable temperature for ornamental kale seeds to germinate is 18-25°C. It has strong adaptability to soil, but grows most vigorously in soil rich in calcium with a pH value of 5.5-6.8.

Ornamental kale is rich in nutrients and is praised as one of the best vegetables for human health. It can be used to make salads!

- Red leaf lettuce -

Red leaf lettuce is not only beautiful but also very good for the body. Red leaf lettuce contains lactucin, which has effects such as clearing heat, reducing inflammation, inducing sleep, promoting urination, clearing intestinal toxins, and preventing constipation.

Sowing is arranged in spring, with loose and breathable potting soil being best. The most suitable temperature for growth is 15-20°C, giving high yield and excellent quality. If the temperature is too high, the leaves will be relatively old and have a bitter taste. For regular watering, keep the potting soil moist, and fertilize once a week, mainly with nitrogen fertilizer.
