The balcony is the spot in your home with the best light, the best ventilation, and the most open view. It is a bit of a pity to leave it idle, and the temperature is just right, so we can grow some vegetables there, which can be enjoyed both as ornamentals and as food, killing two birds with one stone.

Just imagine the scene once the vegetables grow: melons and fruits giving off fragrance, long beans hanging low, red radishes and green lettuces, all delightfully arranged on the balcony. What an enticing scene!

What is good to grow? Let us take a look together:

1. The easy type

If you are a beginner, you should choose vegetables that are easier to grow, so grow some lettuce, baby bok choy, small rape, spinach and the like. These kinds of seeds sprout very quickly, and in five or six days little seedlings will come up.

Choose a suitable container according to the number of seeds. If they are too crowded, the nutrients will not be enough, and the vegetables that grow will be small and thin, neither good-looking nor good-tasting. If they are too sparse, the plants will grow big, but it wastes space and you harvest little.

When planting, you do not need to bury them too deep. A plant spacing of 5 or 6 cm is fine. They need fertile, well-drained soil, and you should water often to keep the soil moist. In about a month you can eat them.

2. The high-yield type

Peppers have a very high yield; a single plant can bear a lot, and there are many varieties, such as: facing-heaven chili, cherry tomato, millet chili, bell pepper, Hangzhou chili, five-color pepper and so on, all kinds and varieties, and you can choose according to your own preferences.

For this type of vegetable, the root system is relatively well developed, so it needs a large and deep container to grow in, and planting two or three plants in one pot is fine. It needs fertile, breathable soil, and with proper watering, fertilizing and light, that is enough. The colorful peppers will hang all over the branches.

3. The cute type

You can grow some cherry radishes in the sunlight, red-skinned with white flesh, delicate and round, very appealing.

Planting is also quite simple. Choose a suitable container or flower pot, with a plant spacing of 4 to 5 cm and a row spacing of 5 to 10 cm. In not much space you can grow two rows of little radishes.

Cherry radishes love light very much, and humus soil is best. Drainage must be good, and you need to keep them moist while draining off excess water, to avoid the radishes splitting. They do not demand much fertilizer, and you can properly sprinkle some cake fertilizer water on the surface. In about a month, you can eat crisp radishes.

There are also many varieties of little radishes, such as: Siyuebai, Rabbit Tail, Champion Radish and so on, and you can plant according to your own preferences.

4. The vine-climbing type

Such as long beans, cucumber, loofah, bitter melon. These vegetables are all ones we often eat. As long as you give them plenty of space and suitable water, fertilizer and light, the yield is very high, more than you can finish.

5. The heavy melon-and-vegetable type

Such as zucchini, eggplant, pumpkin, watermelon, winter melon and so on. The fruits of this type are relatively heavy, so you need to choose suitable containers to grow them. With sufficient light, proper water and fertilizer, and careful management, you will certainly harvest no small amount.

There are a great many vegetables suitable for growing on a balcony. As long as you like them, you can try any vegetable.
