What vegetables are planted on the balcony? How to plant it

Growing vegetables on the balcony stresses a healthy life, but generally, we don't use pesticides and fertilizers, but make use of materials commonly used in our daily life, such as rice washing water, peels, kitchen waste, etc., to make organic fertilizers for vegetables, so that we can eat a healthy and pollution-free food.

Chaoyangtai is the most ideal balcony for growing vegetables, with abundant sunshine and good ventilation. Almost all vegetables grow best in sufficient sunshine, so you can plant common vegetables on the balcony facing south all year round, such as cucumber, bitter gourd, tomato, kidney bean, day lily, apricot, mustard, zucchini, green pepper, lettuce and leek. In addition, aquatic vegetables such as lotus root, water chestnut and water chestnut are also suitable for planting on the balcony facing south. In winter, most places facing Nanyang Terrace can be exposed to direct sunlight, and simple heat preservation equipment can also create a good environment for vegetable production in winter.

The balcony facing east and west is a semi-sunny slope, which is suitable for planting vegetables like onion, rape, leek, loofah, coriander and radish. However, in summer, the balcony facing the west is exposed to the sun, and the temperature is high, which causes some vegetables to be scorched by the sun, and the leaves will fall lightly and die. Therefore, it is best to plant vines and heat-resistant vegetables in the corner of the balcony. In summer, we should try our best to defend against the strong light and radiation reflected from the back floor.

The balcony facing north has almost no sunshine in a day, and the choice of vegetables is the smallest. Should choose shade-tolerant vegetables, such as lettuce, leek, asparagus, Toona sinensis, dandelion spinach, black fungus and so on. In summer, we should try our best to defend against the strong light and radiation reflected from the back floor.
