Continuous harvests of scallions and chili peppers, grow a small vegetable garden at home with a handful of seeds and a few boxes

No matter how small the balcony is, even if it is just a small terrace or a rooftop, make good use of it. With a little careful tending, you can build a small vegetable garden with your own hands and grow some vegetables your family eats often. Every day you see the lush green vegetables, and you feel full of vibrant life. When you have time, take a look at your balcony vegetable garden or terrace, water a little, fertilize a little, and you can grow lots of vegetables with the simplest effort. Growing vegetables is actually very fun and very easy.

Growing vegetables at home, a handful of seeds and a few boxes, and you can grow a small vegetable garden with frequent harvests. The chili peppers, greens and scallions you plant grow in abundance, harvest after harvest!

If you want to grow vegetables but cannot find a place or containers for them, you can find some common boxes from daily life, wooden boxes, foam boxes, plastic boxes, old flower pots and so on. The vegetables grown in them thrive especially well.

To grow some scallions or red shallots, you can plant them from scallion roots or from seeds. Scallions grown from seed grow slowly at first, then very fast later. When harvesting, simply cut the leaves to eat and leave the remaining roots to keep growing.

Lettuce is also a vegetable you can grow all year round. You can grow lettuce in spring, autumn and winter, and you can simply sow it directly with a little seed. It sprouts in at most a week. At first you eat the small seedlings, and in the end you can pick the leaves to eat, so you can harvest over a longer period.

Chili peppers are also one of the easiest vegetables to grow. Just find some chili seeds and prepare some soil; ordinary soil works too. Sow in spring. If the local temperature is warm, you can also grow chili peppers in autumn. They sprout a week after sowing. One or two plants per pot is enough. Pinch off the growing tip and the chili plants bear more fruit. Water with fertilizer more often. If you have children at home, and you are not squeamish, well-rotted manure can also be used.

If you cannot find fertilizer for growing vegetables, you can make your own nutrient-rich organic fertilizer by hand, such as the okara left after making soy milk at home, rice-washing water, or the water from boiling beans, especially soybean water, which is very nutritious and rich in nitrogen fertilizer. Collect it in a large oil jug and leave it for two or three months, and it becomes excellent organic fertilizer. Dilute it with water and pour it on the vegetables; you can watch them grow, and the vegetables look proper, with especially large, plump leaves, lush and green.

In autumn you can grow some cold-tolerant vegetables, such as Chinese cabbage, baby bok choy, radish greens and so on. That way you still have vegetables to eat when the weather turns cold.

There is also celtuce, lettuce and leafy lettuce, all easy to grow and very suitable for growing at home. Scatter a little seed in the soil and they will shoot up quickly. Remember to thin the seedlings, and they will grow into bigger plants.

Vegetables you grow yourself taste even better. Looking at a balcony full of vegetables, a scene of lush green, brings such joy.
