These 5 vegetables can actually be grown in containers, you might not have thought of it, they thrive as soon as they touch soil, and they grow so vigorously you cannot eat them all! They work as food and as ornamentals, they can be grown without needing a very large pot, they take up no space and the whole family gets to eat vegetables, grow them well and even the neighbours will be envious, a balcony setup is no match for growing vegetables!

Lettuce

Lettuce is a leafy vegetable that grows especially fast and is especially easy to grow, and its leaves can be picked continuously, very tender, suitable for all kinds of dishes, so do not miss it for container growing. Container-grown lettuce does not need too much light, it grows very well with just a little scattered light, and it adapts strongly to its environment, and lettuce grows relatively fast, so when planting it is best to choose a somewhat larger pot, and the soil is best kept moist.

Amaranth

Amaranth can be planted all year round in the south, amaranth is a relatively drought-tolerant vegetable, usually water when the soil looks dry and let it dry out somewhat between waterings, in summer water it a bit more, and it is also fairly easy to grow. When its plants grow to about 20 cm you can pick it to eat.

Spinach

Spinach also grows relatively fast, its root system is fairly shallow, so it does not need too large a pot, just a small pot is enough to grow it, spinach needs enough moisture while growing, generally water once every 1-2 days, when the temperature is too high, water once in the morning and once in the evening, and usually you need to keep the soil moist.

Peas

Peas are generally not grown in containers very often, but peas sprout very quickly, they like a mild environment, they are a relatively interesting plant, the flowers are lovely, and when grown in containers they also need some support. They can be kept on the balcony, choose some low-growing varieties, water often, because peas like slightly moist soil, as long as it does not become waterlogged, and place them somewhere that gets plenty of sunlight.

Water spinach

Water spinach is made for beginner vegetable growers, it has vigorous vitality, like chives, cut it and it grows again, you can basically harvest it once every week, and it grows well even if you leave it alone. And water spinach is simple to grow, tolerates high temperatures, and grows rapidly during the high summer heat, water spinach needs a lot of water, usually it needs to be watered generously, and the soil must not be allowed to dry out completely.
