So you don't have a vegetable garden?! Here are 8 common vegetables that you can grow in your apartment!

You do not have a garden but you still want to experience the thrill of eating fresh products grown by you?

Take note that many plants adapt well to life in apartments or on terraces and balconies; some may even benefit from the cleaner environment and the absence of parasites that abound in the countryside.

Below we have selected 8 of these very common vegetables, and we also reveal some tricks to cultivate them in the best way.

Peas and beans are food rich in proteins, vitamins, and minerals. They need a lot of light to grow and a support for climbing. On the other hand, they provide an abundant crop even in small areas.

Mushrooms, that in reality are not plants but which we insert in the list by analogy, are perfect for beginners. Mushrooms need little light and temperatures between 15°F to 20°F (-9°C to -7°C). Basically, you only have to water the soil once a day and on the Internet, you can find kits to start mushroom cultivation that will provide you with everything you need.

 Cucumbers and zucchini

Cucumbers and zucchini need space to grow in width but in return, they are beautiful ornamental plants. They do not like direct exposure to rain and suffer from cold temperatures. The ideal solution, therefore, is to place them in a sheltered area but with large windows to receive lots of sunlight.

 Tomatoes

Like zucchini, tomatoes do not like rain and cold temperatures and need lots of sunlight. Also for them, a place next to a window (closed) is best. Since there are no insects in the house, remember to gently shake the plant from time to time to facilitate pollination.

 Onions

Almost all leek plants can be grown on a window sill. For onions just put the root in a glass with some water and change the water daily.

Garlic and onions

Garlic and onions should instead be grown in a plastic bottle full of soil. You will need to take care to keep the soil moist but free of stagnation and to create an outdoor space for the sprouted plants.

Lettuce

For many types of lettuce, all you need to do is put the stem in a glass of water. Growing a lot, you will need many glasses. Once the roots are formed, you can plant them in soil.

Ginger

Ginger roots need to stay in a bowl of warm water for one night. The next day, plant it in soil and moisten the soil with warm water. After a few weeks, it will start to sprout. Toward the eighth month, the leaves will turn yellow and it will be time to harvest them.
