Growing vegetables on a balcony or terrace at home not only lets you enjoy the greenery and beautify the environment, but also lifts your mood and lets your family eat fresher vegetables. The process is especially fun, and the moment you see the results you feel incredibly happy too.How do you grow vegetables indoors, what containers do you use to grow vegetables, and which vegetables are easy to harvest, tasty and easy to grow?

1. Containers for growing vegetables. Actually, when it comes to growing vegetables, if you have old flower pots at home you can put them to good use for growing vegetables. If you don't even have flower pots, we can use the empty oil bottles from cooking oil in the kitchen to grow vegetables.

First wash the oil drum, then cut off the end with the lid, and use a nail to poke about ten small holes in the bottom to make drainage and air circulation easier.

2. Soil. Then fill it with ordinary garden soil or leaf mold. If you don't want to spend money on soil, we can dig up some clean garden soil or fertile leaf mold in the countryside in places without garbage dumps or construction waste, and then we can start growing vegetables.

3. Choose vegetables that are easy to grow. If you want to grow lush vegetables at home, and even on an enclosed balcony grow pot after pot of eye-catching green, lush vegetables, there is a little trick: grow some tough, easy-care vegetables that you never have to worry about keeping alive, such as bok choy, lettuce, cilantro, garlic chives, tomatoes, chili peppers, and so on.

Especially the three vegetables below: once planted, you can keep picking them for quite a long time. Every few days you can have a harvest.

Baby bok choy, prepare some greens seeds. Things like bok choy can be planted all year round. After sowing, water thoroughly, and they sprout especially fast, sprouting in six or seven days.

They also grow especially fast. You eat them while thinning them out, and in just over a month they are ready to eat.

The seedlings you thin out can be used to cook noodles, or replanted into empty flower pots, where they will grow even more vigorously. It is very simple.

Tomatoes,you can grow from the seeds inside small tomatoes bought from a fruit shop. Because an empty oil drum is deep enough, one empty oil bottle can grow one plant, and they can also be grown in other containers.

When too many side branches grow out, we can remove some of the side shoots.

This promotes flowering and fruiting. During this period, fertilize more. Whether it is decomposed chicken manure fertilizer or cake fertilizer, either works, and the plant will bear a lot of fruit.

Chili peppers, you can sow seeds from red chili peppers. First dry them in the sun, then sow them, covering with soil not too thick. After sowing, water them, and they will sprout in a week.

During the growing period, give them plenty of sun, open the windows often for ventilation to ensure air circulation, and fertilize in time.

The chili peppers will bear a lot of fruit. You can pick chili peppers to eat for several months.
