People who love gardening, do love planting as well. Sometimes it may just be due to the lack of space. In fact, we can choose some vegetables that can be constantly harvest over and over again without growing it from scratch, which not only saves space, but also satisfies the “vegetable basket”!
Constant harvest vegetables are vegetables that will re-grow after cutting off the mature branches and leaves. From the perspective of botany, this phenomenon is a phenomenon in which plants recover or replicate after losing a certain part of their tissues and organs, which is the phenomenon of plant regeneration. This characteristic of these vegetables perfectly solves the problem of growing vegetables in a small space. They can be planted in pots, harvested every once in a while, and then new ones will grow.
Of course, not all vegetables have this kind of regeneration ability. The following are some “constant harvest” vegetables suitable for family planting
1.Coriander
The coriander we buy in the market is rooted, but in fact, if only the leaves are cut and the roots are retained when harvesting, the coriander can be regenerated.
Harvest time: It can be harvest when new leaves grew.
2. Leek
Leek is a magical vegetable. It can be green leeks, leeks, or even leeks. Leeks need to retain 3 cm of roots when harvesting so that they can be harvested again after two months
Harvest time: 60 days after planting
3. Lettuce
Lettuce has always been loved by everyone. It has a short growth cycle. After one harvest, new leaves will grow in about two weeks. In addition to the common green lettuce, it can also be planted together with red lettuce to achieve a beautiful mix and match effect.
Harvest time: After the leaves reach 25 cm, harvest from outside to inside
4. Celery
Celery prefers a cold environment, not tolerant to heat and dryness, so it is necessary to avoid lack of water before harvest.
Harvest time: The seedlings can be harvested 50 to 60 days after planting (cutting leaves from outside to inside)
5. Water spinach
Water spinach has a great demand for fertilizers. To avoid lack of fertilizer to keep the side buds, it needs sufficient sunshine and long-term moist soil environment.
Harvest time: 20 to 25 days after planting (leaves grow to about 20 cm, just cut off the front part of the plant about 15 cm, and then harvest new side buds one after another, each time keep 2 to 3 leaves)
6. Broccoli
Broccoli likes a cool climate and cannot tolerate high temperatures when the buds grow larger.
Harvest time: about 50 days after planting, when the flower bud reaches 10 to 12 cm, it can be harvested. After the top flower bud is removed, side buds will gradually grow
7. Nai Bai
Nai bai’s leaves oil content, the stems and leaves are white and green, and the appearance is very small and cute.
Harvest time: about 30 days
8. Chives
Chives can live for 2 to 3 years once they are planted. They are very suitable for planting on the balcony. It should be noted that chives are not drought-tolerant and require a lot of water.
Harvest time: The plant can be cut from a position close to the soil when it grows to about 20 to 30 cm, and only about 3 cm of the upper part of the soil is reserved for new shoots to come out.
Most “renewable” vegetables need a lot of water during the growth process; therefore, we must always pay attention to hydrate the vegetables, with that hydroponic system is definitely the best choice for those vegetables.
24/7 constant watering of vegetables that you don’t have to pay too much attention and go on with your normal daily routine.
