The secret to vigorous leek growth: 2 methods commonly used by old farmers

In today's society, everyone likes to grow a few flowers and plants to pass the time. Especially now that food safety problems are so serious, growing vegetables on the balcony has become the choice of many people, because this way not only is safety guaranteed, but eating them is also more convenient!

Huahua's neighbor, a skilled worker, used to be an old farmer. Now he grows various vegetables on his own balcony, such as leeks, cilantro, celery and garlic, and every one of them grows lush and green, which makes Huahua really envious. After asking around, Huahua learned that the neighbor always soaks the seeds before sowing.

If you want to propagate leeks by sowing, it is best to soak the leek seeds beforehand. Just keep the water temperature at around 40 degrees, and control the soaking time well. Never exceed 10 hours. After soaking, the seeds will become softer. Then wrap them in gauze, put them in a suitable environment and wait for the seeds to sprout.

When the seeds have roughly sprouted a tiny little white shoot, you can sow them, and the subsequent fertilizing effect will be better. Sowing this way lets leeks sprout faster, which of course means they will also grow faster. However, when propagating leeks, many people still mostly use the method of planting leek roots directly. It just depends on personal preference.

Actually, few people grow celery, this kind of vegetable plant, at home, but it is completely possible, and the trace elements rich in celery have a very good effect on lowering blood pressure. Similarly, the seeds need to be sprouted before sowing, but this time there is no need for the trouble of soaking.

All you need to do is clean the seeds, spread them out on gauze, then place them at around 20 degrees and wait for them to sprout. The process and method are much the same as for growing leeks. After planting, it is best to apply a little compound fertilizer regularly so they will grow faster.

Cilantro, this kind of vegetable, can be said to rival durian. Some people love eating it to no end, while others do not want to touch it at all. The outer shell of cilantro seeds is rather hard, so just like the previous two, they need to be soaked.

After soaking, the seeds will become a bit softer. Plant them at this time, and the sprouting speed will be very fast, just a few days. Besides these vegetables, lettuce and garlic are also vegetable plants very suitable for growing on the balcony. They not only grow relatively fast but are also relatively easy to care for.

Growing a few vegetables you like to eat on the balcony and tending them carefully, watching them slowly grow, what a meaningful thing this is. Of course, there are many varieties of vegetables that can be grown on the balcony, not limited to these few recommended by Huahua. Everyone, hurry and go choose some, so your own balcony can also become a small vegetable garden!
