Potted vegetables are easy to grow and grow fast; plant them now and they can be on your table in 30 days

There are still quite a few choices for growing vegetables on a balcony, but to be able to eat fresh vegetables at any time, especially when balcony space is limited, we should choose some fast-growing, easy-to-grow and easy-to-plant vegetables, such as the following, all of which are suitable for pots.

1. Pak choi and lettuce types

Lettuce and pak choi are very easy-to-grow vegetables. Lettuce in particular is very shade-tolerant and likes a cool, humid environment. Keep the potting soil slightly moist, and if you can also give it about 3 hours of light each day, you can be eating tender leaves in as little as one month. Pak choi is likewise a vegetable with a short growing cycle, and so are celtuce and others; all are vegetables suitable for balcony potting.

2. Ceylon spinach and sweet potato leaves

Ceylon spinach and sweet potato leaves are both very nutritious vegetables. The leaves and stems can be eaten, and both can be propagated by stem cuttings with a high survival rate and are very easy to grow. They are very easy vegetables to plant, grow readily and can even fill the pot. Generally, about 30 days after cuttings are taken, they can be picked and eaten, and after eating they keep growing.

3. Crown daisy

Crown daisy is a vegetable people commonly eat. Its plants are relatively small and its growing period is short, making it very suitable for balcony potting. It is mostly grown by direct sowing and seedlings emerge in about 5 days. With suitable temperatures, for example in the south it can be cultivated all year round, and from sowing to harvest takes as little as 30 days. However, be careful to choose a larger flower pot so you can give the crown daisy enough growing space.
