Sow 3 kinds of vegetable seeds in balcony flower pots, harvest one crop after another, and you will not worry about food for the whole winter

Nowadays, everyone's living standards are higher, and growing flowers and vegetables has become part of life. Speaking of growing flowers and vegetables, there is actually not much difference between the two. In the care process, both involve several key elements such as watering, fertilizing, light and soil. Nowadays many people live in cities, and the small courtyard back home cannot be moved here. What is left is only a small balcony or terrace of a few sq m. But this does not stump those who love life and enjoy growing flowers and vegetables. With flower pots, you can not only grow flowers, but also grow some small vegetables in containers. Container-grown vegetables are simple to manage and care for, do not take up much space, and are very worth trying.

Once the 3 kinds of vegetable seeds are sown, the balcony flower pots cannot hold them all. Harvest crop after crop, and you will not worry about food for the whole winter

There are also many tricks to container-grown vegetables, such as which vegetables are suitable for containers, which have short growth and harvest cycles, which are simple to care for, which have high germination rates, and so on. Next, Potted Plant Station recommends 3 vegetables that are relatively suitable for growing in containers on a balcony. The first one recommended to everyone is "pak choi seeds". Growing pak choi in containers is very simple and easy. As long as you have the pak choi seeds ready, you can scatter them in a flower pot. One thing to note: the pak choi we grow in containers is a small variety, not the large napa cabbage type. That kind of large napa cabbage has a long growth cycle and is not suitable for containers; it is suitable for growing in the ground.

Second kind of vegetable seed: coriander seeds

Coriander was hyped quite heavily a while ago, with 1 jin selling for several tens of yuan. Of course, it has now dropped to a few yuan. However, to avoid another price increase, why not grow some in containers on our own balcony? Of course, recommending container-grown coriander to everyone is not because of the price issue just mentioned, but because this vegetable is truly very worth growing in containers. Coriander seeds have a high survival rate, and the harvest cycle is very short. When growing coriander in containers, we first need to soak the coriander seeds in water for a few hours, then scatter them in the potting soil. Spray a little water every day, and they can sprout in two or three days.

Third kind of vegetable seed: fennel seeds

Growing fennel in containers has one advantage: it can be harvested continuously, crop after crop, which is similar to chives. However, container-grown fennel is relatively novel, after all, some people cannot stand its aroma. Leaving that aside for now, the value of fennel alone is extraordinary. It is rich in vitamin A and vitamin C, and also contains quite a few mineral elements such as calcium and zinc, making it a vegetable of high value. For container-grown fennel, you only need to water it regularly. If you want it to grow vigorously, you can put some base fertilizer into the potting soil when sowing the seeds at the beginning, which can be compound fertilizer or decomposed beans.

Besides the 3 kinds of vegetable seeds mentioned above, you can also grow "small bok choy", small chili peppers, tomatoes and so on in containers on a balcony. These are all possible. Container-grown vegetables are not as difficult to care for as imagined. Many people question whether they really grow well on a balcony. Actually, if you do not try, how can you know whether you grow them well or not? Whether growing flowers or vegetables, as long as you add a little more care and patience in life, I believe it can all be done well.
