Grow These 6 Vegetables on Your Balcony: Vigorous Growth, Heavy Yields, and a Continuous Harvest for Three Months

If you have some spare space on your balcony, you can grow some fresh vegetables yourself. If you don't have flower pots, you can use cooking oil containers from home to grow vegetables. If you don't have soil, you can find some dirt outside and bring it back. You can also make use of discarded packing boxes, wood, floorboards, and bamboo that you no longer need at home, often combining and modifying them yourself into vegetable-growing boxes. Which vegetables are suitable for growing at home, and how can you grow them for a big harvest?

These few are delicious and easy to grow, with especially heavy yields. The growing methods and tips are as follows:

Cucumber, as long as the seeds are fresh, it can be sown in both spring and summer, simply scattering the seeds directly into a flower pot. Grow it in fertile, airy leaf mold soil, or apply some cake fertilizer or chicken manure fertilizer as a base fertilizer. Cucumbers like fertilizer; give them a well-ventilated environment and enough sunlight, and they will grow like crazy, bear a good number of fruits, and keep producing a continuous harvest for several months.

Tomato, whether large tomatoes or cherry tomatoes, they can be eaten as a vegetable or as a fruit. They are very simple to grow. You don't need to buy seeds; you can just sow the seeds from a tomato you eat in the kitchen. Thin the seedlings when they get crowded. Give plenty of organic fertilizer during the growing period; eggshells and leaf mold from home can both be used to fertilize, and the tomatoes will be big and plentiful.

Garlic, garlic sprouts. Even friends who don't know how to grow vegetables or keep flowers can grow this well. In a little while, it will be time to plant garlic. For seedlings you can't finish eating, find an empty flower pot or an empty oil jug and fill it with soil. Break the garlic cloves apart one by one and just push the bottom end into the soil. Water when it dries out, and it grows fast and well.

Chili Pepper, whether it's facing-heaven chili or green peppers, they are also super simple to grow. Plant a few pots on the balcony and pick a few when cooking; it's especially convenient. You can sow directly using the seeds from red chilies. After sowing, water thoroughly. Plant only one or two per pot. Give them more sun and more watering and fertilizing, and the peppers grow especially fast. Keep them well ventilated. In the end, the pepper plants will be covered with fruits.

Water Spinach, this one is ridiculously easy to grow. Keep the old stems from water spinach you buy, and just stick them directly into a flower pot as cuttings. Water often and apply plenty of liquid fertilizer, and in ten days new tender leaves will grow out. As long as the soil is fertile and there's plenty of moisture, it easily grows out of control, and after you pick and eat some, it will keep growing a lot more.

There are also loofah and baby greens, which are also easy to grow. Grow some vegetables your family likes to eat yourself: you can save money on buying groceries, get some exercise, and enjoy the fun of labor and growing plants. Most importantly, you can eat delicious fresh vegetables, which is more practical and useful than keeping flowers.
