Plant a pot of these vegetables in autumn and winter; they sprout fast, grow vigorously, and one pot gives you plenty to harvest

Life, work and study are too rushed; we need a slower pace of life, to spend more time with family, grow a few flowers at home and plant a few pots of vegetables, so life becomes happier, more beautiful and more relaxed. In autumn and winter the temperature is not especially low, so actually you can still grow many kinds of vegetables. Growing vegetables at this time brings a bit of eye-catching green to the home, and when you want some fresh greens as an ingredient, you don't have to go out and buy them; just pick some right from the flower pot.

Plant a pot of these vegetables in autumn and winter; they sprout fast and grow fast, and you can harvest in thirty days. You'll have vegetables to eat!

A-choy (stem lettuce), it has a very fresh fragrance and is rich in vitamins, iron and calcium. Everyone has eaten cold-tossed A-choy, right? Sprinkle on a little sesame and it is very fragrant and goes down great with rice. Actually you can plant A-choy as early as October. Sow the seeds directly: first prepare a flower pot and potting soil, water the soil until moist, then sprinkle on some seeds, trying to spread them as evenly as possible, then cover with a thin layer of sandy soil, and they will sprout in a week.

Keep the light adequate. When the seedlings are a bit bigger, water more with cake fertiliser water and manure water, and the leaves will grow rapidly, a lovely glossy green that is especially beautiful and eye-catching. When the winter temperature is low, you can also slip a plastic bag over the pot to let it keep growing.

Lettuce, it is a vegetable we eat often in daily life; the fresher it is, the better it tastes. Lettuce is so easy to grow that even a beginner who doesn't know how to grow vegetables or flowers can do it with no pressure at all. The seeds are best within two years old; if they have been stored too long, the germination rate will be affected. They sprout after a week.

After the seedlings emerge, do not water too much; give them plenty of sun. Once true leaves grow, you can thin the seedlings.

The young seedlings can also be transplanted. The more fertile the potting soil, the bigger the leaves grow. One vegetable-growing friend grew lettuce in a flower pot and a single plant grew as big as a plate. That's enough to stir-fry a bowl.

Spinach, in autumn and winter, is exactly the time to grow spinach. Some vegetable-growing friends say their homegrown spinach sprouts slowly. Xiaoya has tried a little trick: first soak the spinach seeds in water for a day, or chill them in the fridge for a day, and then sow them, and they will sprout especially fast.

Fifteen to twenty degrees is a very suitable temperature for spinach growth, and there will be no pests either. During the spinach seedling stage, water more with manure water, and it will grow especially sturdy, both strong and tender. Spinach grown in autumn and winter is very tasty.

Baby bok choy, small rape, Shanghai green, can be grown all year round, but this vegetable grown in autumn and winter, once it has been through frost, tastes even more fresh, sweet and delicious. Soak the seeds for a few hours before sowing and they sprout faster.

Do not plant too densely; this way you keep adequate ventilation and light. Add some chicken manure fertiliser and cake fertiliser to the soil as a base fertiliser. As long as the soil is fertile and the sunlight is adequate, these greens will all grow especially vigorously. Each time, pick the biggest ones to eat and leave the small ones to keep growing. Once you've finished a pot, sow again right away. That way you'll always have vegetables to eat.
