Choose these 9 vegetables for beginner container growing - easy to care for and they grow like crazy, one pot is more than the whole family can eat

Recently, food safety problems have become more and more serious, and I have become more and more envious of my classmates in the countryside who can have a vegetable garden. If only vegetables could grow in flower pots like flowers and plants. So I did it. After my continuous experiments, I found that these 9 vegetables are the most suitable for growing at home. They need almost no management, and with a few pots at home, one family may not even be able to finish eating them all.

Garlic chives

If you do not dislike the taste of garlic chives, then garlic chives are the first choice for container vegetable growing at home. Because garlic chives are entirely leaves and have no stems, there is no such thing as leggy growth, so no matter how poor the light is at home, it is suitable for growing garlic chives. Even under completely lightless conditions, garlic chives can still grow normally, but the leaves will turn yellow, which is yellow chives.

Garlic chives can be grown from garlic chive roots or from garlic chive seeds. If using roots, just bury them in a flower pot in early spring. If growing from seeds, be sure to first soak them in warm water at 35 to 40 degrees to speed up sprouting, then scatter the sprouted seeds evenly over the prepared soil, and then cover with a layer of fine soil about 8 to 10 mm thick and wait for them to sprout.

Water spinach

Water spinach is very suitable for home container growing mainly because it is easy to get, easy to grow, and tasty. Water spinach almost never suffers from diseases, and as long as the soil is fine, container-grown water spinach will simply not have pest problems. Water spinach does not need much sunlight. Just keep it indoors, and it does not need much management either. Just remember to spray it with water.

Water spinach can be grown from seeds, but I feel that cuttings are more convenient. Take water spinach bought from the supermarket, eat the leaves, and the stems can be inserted directly into the pot. Water them every day and they will grow normally in 5 to 7 days. Water spinach grows very fast. After we pick the leaves, it will quickly grow new leaves. If you cannot eat it in time, it will gradually become old and affect the taste.

Leaf beet

Also called Swiss chard, scientific name Beta vulgaris. The leaves of leaf beet have a very nice texture and are also very tasty, and its leaves can be peeled off layer by layer from the outside and eaten, growing as you peel, and the more you peel, the more it grows. Leaf beet is generally grown from seeds. You can use warm water at 45 to 50 degrees to speed up sprouting before sowing. After the seedlings emerge, they almost need no care, but it is best to put them on a south-facing balcony.

Malabar spinach

Malabar spinach is somewhat vine-like, and when eaten it has a texture very much like wood ear mushroom. Not only can it be picked continuously, growing as you pick, but more importantly, if the temperature is suitable, it can live for several years.

Malabar spinach seeds have a very thick outer shell, so they must be soaked in warm water at 25 to 35 degrees Celsius to speed up sprouting. Generally 3 to 5 days is enough. Malabar spinach is not very tolerant of low temperatures, and the nighttime temperature is best kept above 16 degrees Celsius.

Scallions

Scallions are what we usually call small green onions. There is no need for me to talk about their taste and uses. Scallions can be grown from seeds or from roots. Seeds can be soaked in warm water to speed up sprouting before sowing, or they can be sown directly. If using roots, just cut the scallions bought from the supermarket straight across 2 to 3 cm above the roots and plant them in a pot.

Lettuce

Generally no one dislikes this, right? Lettuce is crisp and full of water, truly extremely refreshing. Not only that, lettuce can also grow as you pick, but you have to pick from the outside inward, harvesting and eating it circle by circle, and it can keep growing. How great is that.

This lettuce is generally grown directly from seeds. Just scatter them directly into the flower pot, then cover with 8 to 10 mm of fine soil, spray with water, and above 20 degrees they can sprout in just two or three days.

Amaranth

Do you all recognize this? This is one of my favorite vegetables. Although it cannot be picked endlessly, it can indeed be planted all year round. Before sowing, loosen the soil first, then evenly scatter amaranth seeds on the potting soil, then cover with a thin layer of soil, spray it moist with a spray bottle, and in about a week they will sprout.

Parsley

Although we usually eat parsley as whole plants, in fact it can also be eaten by peeling off leaves, and besides using seeds, it can also be grown directly from bought parsley, simply by cutting off the bottom 2-3 cm and planting it in a pot.

Sedum aizoon

This is neither Panax notoginseng nor Panax pseudo-ginseng, but its taste is quite good. It can conveniently be propagated directly from root divisions, and can also be directly grown from cuttings. It can be harvested batch after batch like garlic chives, and all we probably need to do is water it.

The above 9 vegetables will grow like crazy with almost no management at all. Each time you plant one pot, the family cannot finish eating it. Not only does it save time and effort, it is also green and environmentally friendly. What do you think?
