What if I told you about some delicious vegetables that produce many from one plant? Fresh harvest for all the family members right from a single container!
Expect this plant to produce 2-4 pounds of fruits in the season, even while growing in a medium sized pot. Isn’t that amazing?
All you got to do is to give it 5-6 hours of direct sunlight and use well draining soil. That’s it!
While every bean variety is a champion choice for containers, if you are looking for plentiful veggies from a single plant, pole beans are the ones you must pick for that basket of harvest!
If you live in a warm weather, you will be in for a treat! A medium sized container, and a spot in a sunny balcony or patio is all you need for this!
While the above veggie is a great pick for warm climates, we also have a tasty option that does extremely well in colder ones – lettuce! Make sure it gets indirect light and remains safe from prolonged, direct sun exposure.
What works in its favour, is the continual harvest. Keep the plant growing in the pot, and cut the leaves to add them in salads, broths, stews, and other vegetable preparations.
Another leafy contender that’s quite tasty at that! Kale keeps on growing after you harvest its leaves, meaning a single plant will be enough to keep that salad platter full!
For best growth, use a wider container for it to expand better and provide 3-4 hours of direct morning sun exposure.
Be it in a fried sliced form, or in a sautéed preparation, eggplants shine in all forms! The best part, it produces so much yield from a single plant that you can also share the harvest with your neighbours!
Just be careful of the pests, give it plenty of sunlight, and use well draining soil.
These are definitely more heat tolerant than pota
