The benefits of home-grown vegetables need no explanation.
Firstly, you will definitely not find any harmful substances in their composition, and secondly, due to the fact that the crops do not have to survive in difficult weather conditions, you will harvest ahead of schedule, and perhaps even more than one, reminds the expert of the online publication BelNovosti, agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh.
Let's find out what you can grow on the windowsill in your own apartment.
Tomatoes
In order to harvest aromatic and juicy fruits from tomato bushes, you will need a sunny place, a spacious pot and nutritious soil, which will need to be fertilized from time to time.
Onions and garlic
Green onions, leeks, garlic and others are literally made for the windowsill. The main thing is to provide them with loose and humus-rich soil, and when planting, keep a distance of 10 cm.
Radish and carrots
Both radishes and carrots are suitable for growing indoors, provided there is sufficient light.
If you do everything correctly, the first harvest can be collected in 4-6 weeks.
Peas and beans
Peas and beans can also be grown indoors. Deep pots with humus-rich soil are suitable for them.
These climbing plants require support, which can be provided by slats or stretched ropes. They can be fixed to the window frame, thus decorating the window.
Cucumbers
As in previous cases, cucumbers need to find a roomy pot. To grow greens on your windowsill, make sure that the crop grows in nutrient-rich and breathable soil with sufficient light.
It is recommended to apply fertilizer every two weeks, and to help the cucumber stems grow, you should install support slats.
Strawberry
In a warm, sunny place, strawberries grow practically on their own. They only require regular watering and fertilizing.
However, it should be taken into account that the plant does not like over-watering.
