The balcony vacated by ornamental and edible plants is just right.

The balcony at home is so big, have you ever thought about growing something? I have seen some great gods grow lemons and dragon fruits on the balcony, and some even grow corn. We can't keep up with the footsteps of the great gods, and it's great to plant small plants that we like. Today, the editor recommends to you several plants that are more suitable for beginners, which can be watched and eaten.

01

Mint

Peppermint is a perennial herb, fragrant and flavored Chinese herbal medicine, which is often used in meals. In your life, you may often use items that contain mint, such as toothpaste, potted drinks, facial cleanser, etc. It is not difficult to plant peppermint. Dig a mint plant in the field and cultivate it in soil or water, and prune it regularly. Good mint can make some mint soup and make a pot of peppermint tea.

Mint tea need to pay attention to, as the peppermint heating effect will be invalid, so it is recommended to make tea after boiling water.

02

Perilla

Perilla is an annual herb with fragrance and can be used as medicine or edible. People who often eat sashimi must be no stranger to perilla. It has strong adaptability and is especially suitable for domestic maintenance. The leaves are basically bicolor and are excellent ornamental plants. Of course, if you like Japanese food and happen to be a master cook, it's a good choice to grow some perilla. PS: perilla has the effect of detoxifying fish and crab, so stewed fish with perilla is a good tonic. But perilla can't eat with carp.

03

Basil

Basil has a wide range of varieties, both annual and perennial. It's a deep-rooted plant. The most common is probably basil, which has been processed into spices. In fact, plant basil is a very good-looking foliage plant. Planting is also very simple. Pour through the bottom of the soil with warm water and sow seeds to cover the thin soil.

Basil is also often used in flower arrangement in Belgium, Holland and other places.

04

Colorful pepper

Colorful pepper is a new plant which integrates ornamental, food and medicine in recent years. The fruit of the same plant can reach five colors of red, yellow, purple, white and green, embellished in the green leaves, very exquisite and lovely. Due to the advantages of branches and colors of colorful peppers, they are also often used in flower shows. And colorful peppers do not have high requirements for the environment, as long as the sun is sufficient and the soil is well drained.
