Flower lovers can freely choose their favorite vegetables from them, so as to create a small vegetable garden without having to buy vegetables all year round!

How do you grow these vegetables?

1. Vegetables that can be grown all year round: garlic

Steps:

1. Peel open a whole garlic clove, select the strong cloves, and peel off the garlic skin (don't peel off the paper-like layer on the surface of the garlic)

2. Prepare loose and breathable soil, and plant the garlic cloves directly. Make sure the pointed end is facing upwards, otherwise the garlic sprouts will grow into the soil.

3. After placing the garlic cloves, cover them with a layer of soil about 2-3 cm thick, and then water them thoroughly once.

4. Generally, garlic will sprout in 3-5 days. At this time, you can water it a little to ensure that the soil is moist.

5. When the seedlings grow taller and taller, you can apply more nitrogen-containing fertilizers to make the garlic seedlings grow stronger and stronger! At this time, you can pinch the garlic sprouts and eat them directly!

6. As the garlic seedlings grow bigger, garlic scapes will grow. Pick the garlic scapes and apply more phosphorus and potassium fertilizers so that the garlic heads in the soil can absorb nutrients and grow bigger.

7. When the garlic leaves are almost withered, you can dig out the garlic heads .

8. Garlic can also be propagated hydroponically, but only garlic sprouts can be grown from hydroponics, while garlic stalks and garlic bulbs cannot be grown.

2. Vegetables to choose in autumn: Chinese cabbage

Steps:

1. Prepare the Chinese cabbage seeds you want to plant, sprinkle them on the potting soil at random, cover them with a thin layer of soil, and finally cover them with a layer of plastic wrap.

2. In about 2-3 days, you can see the cabbage seedlings sprouting. At this time, do not remove the plastic wrap. Poke a few small holes in the plastic wrap to allow the seedlings to gradually adapt to the outside climate.

3. Then place it in a well-lit place on the balcony for maintenance. You can water the cabbage with liquid fertilizer to supplement nutrients. In less than a month, it will fill the flowerpot.

4. Pick the ripe Chinese cabbage. Whether you stir-fry it, make soup, or even eat it raw, it can be regarded as a natural, nutritious and delicious dish!

3. Vegetables you can choose in winter: coriander Operation steps:

1. Huahua thinks that if you want to eat coriander as soon as possible, in addition to using seeds, you can also go directly to the vegetable market and buy a bunch of coriander.

2. Pick the tender leaves and stems of the coriander for cooking, and leave the coriander roots and the coriander heart in the middle and plant them directly by cuttings.

3. Prepare loose and breathable soil, plant the coriander roots, and then water them thoroughly once. Then place them in a cool place for 3-5 days, and then place them directly in the sun for normal exposure.

4. As long as the roots of the coriander are still there, the coriander will bloom again in less than half a month!

5. Just pick the coriander and use it directly in cooking. However, when it comes to coriander, many people show polarized views. Either they love to eat it, or they just don't like to eat it at all. Do you flower lovers like to eat it?

4. Vegetables you can choose in spring: leeks Operation steps:

1. Flower lovers can directly buy a bag of chive seeds and then use the seeds to grow chives.

2. Prepare the soil for sowing and make it loose and breathable. In order to ensure that the leeks are planted neatly and not messy, you can dig small trenches one by one and then sow the leek seeds.

3. Use a shovel to cover the seeds with some soil, about 0.5 cm thick, and then water them thoroughly. When watering, be sure to water slowly, otherwise the chive seeds will be washed away by the water.

4. After about 5-10 days, the sown chive seeds will germinate!

5. In less than a month, the chive seedlings will grow up and can be cut and eaten!

6. Whether you are making scrambled eggs with leeks or making dumplings, the taste is very good!

5. Vegetables you can choose in summer: cucumber. Steps:

1. Soak the cucumber seeds in warm water for a while to allow them to germinate slightly.

2. Place the germinated seeds in the prepared seedling cup, then cover the seeds with about 1 cm of soil, and then cover the mouth of the seedling cup with a plastic bag to keep it moist. In about 2-3 days, the cucumber sprouts will emerge from the soil.

3. When the seedlings gradually grow 4-5 true leaves, transplant them into pots and place them in a sunny place for good care.

4. In about one month, the cucumber will grow and bloom.

5. After the cucumber flowers fall, small cucumbers will grow. When the cucumbers grow bigger and mature, you can pick them and eat them!
