On this gardening enthusiast's small balcony, she grows a great many fruits and vegetables. Although it isn't a big patch of plants, they are all potted vegetables, and each kind of vegetable is grown in its own pot, yet it gives people a better feeling than growing flowers.

How do you grow fruits and vegetables that look this good and taste this good? She also told her friends that growing vegetables isn't just for eating; it is also a way of life. Raise them to look a little nicer, and when you have time to go to the balcony and look at them, you feel very happy too.

The most eye-catching are the cherry tomatoes, with their small fruits and bright colors, followed by the facing heaven chili peppers and blueberries.

When other people buy garlic at the market that costs more than meat, her family's garlic is all grown in pots; planting a few pots is enough for her own household to eat.

She has only been growing vegetables for 3 years, but she is already very experienced, and she keeps trying new crops. Growing vegetables from seed to maturity doesn't take very long, and you can grow different vegetables throughout the year, so you can enjoy the fun of growing vegetables even in the city.

In the corners there are some homemade flower pots and pots of different sizes, placed in every corner. It is a wonderful balcony vegetable garden. According to how much sunlight the vegetables like, they are placed in different positions. Guess how big this balcony is? 2 sq m?

A very small balcony, planted full with chili peppers, tomatoes, taro, water spinach, basil, scallions and lettuce, etc.

Every pot of vegetables she grows, I think, looks even better than the flowers I grow.

The new vegetables grown on the balcony, this golden berry, are also a new experiment.

Growing vegetables really isn't just for eating, especially potted vegetables on a balcony; they can become a wonderful ornamental view, and they can also improve your growing skills. Vegetables grow very quickly, and it is easy to experience that joy of harvest, an experience that growing flowers cannot give you.

Lettuce can be harvested every day and used to make vegetable salad, a very green and healthy life.

When there is more new scallion than you can eat, just hydroponically grow it in a cup. In less than 3 to 5 days, new leaves grow again. These few can regrow leaves 3 or 4 times, but the water must be changed every day.

On a high-rise of more than 10 floors, opposite the balcony there isn't reinforced concrete, but a stretch of lush green vegetables. Because they block the view, leaving behind the noisy city life and learning a bit about balcony potted vegetables is still very nice.
