Here are six green vegetables that thrive in containers, perfect for small spaces like balconies or patios:
- Spinach
Why it works: Spinach is compact and fast-growing, making it ideal for containers. Container size: A shallow container (6-8 inches deep) is sufficient. Care tips: Spinach prefers partial shade and consistent moisture. Harvest leaves regularly to encourage growth.
- Lettuce
Why it works: Lettuce varieties like romaine, butterhead, and loose-leaf grow quickly and don’t need much space. Container size: A wide container, at least 6 inches deep. Care tips: Keep the soil moist and place in partial sunlight. Succession planting ensures a continuous harvest.
- Kale
Why it works: Kale is hardy and grows well in confined spaces. Container size: At least 12 inches deep to accommodate its roots. Care tips: Give kale plenty of sunlight (6-8 hours daily) and water regularly. Harvest outer leaves as needed.
