Plant a pot of vegetables on the balcony in autumn; scatter some seeds and they grow like crazy, prettier than potted plants and you can harvest them again and again

Actually, dreams are not far away; what truly matters is the things right around you. Keeping your home and balcony clean and tidy, and planting a few pots of flowers, plants and vegetables, is a simple, eco-friendly and meaningful thing to do. In autumn, plant a few pots of vegetables to make the balcony look more pleasing to the eye, as attractive as potted plants, and lushly green even in winter. What vegetables are good to plant on the balcony in autumn, and which ones are easier to grow?

Plant a pot of these three vegetables on the balcony in autumn; scatter some seeds and they shoot right up, prettier than potted plants, and you can harvest them again and again!

Scallions are a seasoning we often must eat; add a little to dishes or noodles and the flavor is fresher. If you need scallions while cooking and do not have time to go to the supermarket or market, you might as well grow a few pots yourself when you have time. It is very simple.

There are two planting methods: one is sowing seeds, and the other is using scallion roots or scallion bulbs to plant, which also grows especially fast. The planting method is very simple. As long as the scallion seeds are fresh, first soak them in clean water for four or five hours, then sow them into a flower pot. You can use ordinary garden soil or leaf mold soil; there should be no stones or rocks in the soil, so as not to affect sprouting. Cover with 1 to 2 cm of soil and water thoroughly; they will sprout in about ten days.

Although they grow rather thin at first, with more sun and more fertilizer later they will grow especially fast. Both Welsh onions and scallions can be grown this way, and they are not afraid of the cold; they can still grow green and lush in winter. When eating, cut them off and leave the rest to keep growing.

Bok choy is one of the very easy-to-grow vegetables suitable for home growing. The seeds do not need soaking or sprouting; just make sure they are fresh and not expired. Any old flower pot or empty oil jug at home that can hold soil can be used to grow bok choy. It sprouts especially fast; water thoroughly and it sprouts in less than a week.

The seedlings also grow very quickly. Water with organic fertilizer water a few more times, such as cake fertilizer water or fertilizer water fermented from cooked soybeans, and the leaves visibly grow, becoming more and more lush. When the temperature drops in autumn and winter, you can cover them with a layer of plastic film. When you want to eat them in winter, remove the film and thin them out to eat, leaving the smaller ones to keep growing; you can keep eating them until spring. And the emerald green leaves look even prettier than potted plants.

Lettuce: if you like eating lettuce, you must grow some yourself, because it is just too easy; even people who do not know how to grow flowers or vegetables can grow it. Its seeds are thin and long. Sow them directly into a flower pot, but do not sow them too densely.

Because the germination rate is very high, when there are too many seedlings, pull some out in time to eat and leave the rest to keep growing. You can grow sweet, fragrant butterhead lettuce, and also the pretty and tasty purple-leaf lettuce; there are many kinds of lettuce, especially beautiful and especially delicious. Very easy to grow. It can also grow green and lush in winter.
