Generally speaking, most vegetables and fruits can be grown on a garden bed if space allows. You can basically grow vegetables all year round. Choose vegetables according to the orientation of the Raised bed.
The south-facing garden bed is full sun and airy, making it the ideal place to grow vegetables. Almost all vegetables grow best in full sun, so they can be grown all year round on a south-facing balcony. In winter, most places facing the south platform can be exposed to direct sunlight and also create a good environment for winter vegetable production.
Toward the east, toward the west of the garden bed is half sunshine, suitable for planting light-tolerant vegetables, such as onion, lettuce, rape, leek, loofah, coriander, radish and so on. But toward the west balcony in summer when the temperature is higher, so that some vegetables produce burning, light leaves, heavy people die, so it is best in the corner of the balcony loaded with high temperature resistant vegetables. In the summer, try to protect against the glare and radiation reflected from the back floor.
North facing garden beds got little daylight throughout the day and had the smallest selection of vegetables. Should choose shade tolerant vegetable planting, such as lettuce, leek, asparagus, Chinese toon, dandelion water cabbage, etc. In the summer, try to protect against the glare and radiation reflected from the back floor.
In order to avoid soil loss when watering, can be carried out "pad basin", that is, broken flower pot pieces, tiles or window screens to cover the drainage hole, both required to block the drainage hole. To promote drainage, you can put some coarse gravel or small stones on the basin to keep the drainage smooth.
Size: The size of your raised bed is important. Larger containers not only have plenty of room for fertilizer, but they also hold more water and won't dry out quickly in the summer.
There are two ways to plant vegetables. One is to grow them before transplanting them. The other is to plant them directly. Beginners often prefer to directly buy seedlings in the agronomy market and transplant them at home. This is a simple and quick method, but it will narrow your planting scope, because some vegetables such as beans, radishes and so on are inconvenient to transplant seedlings only live, - transplant will harm the normal development of the roots, can’t be transplanted. Some vegetables are essential for transplantation, such as kale, broccoli, mustard greens, and so on. The planting of vegetables can be basically divided into four processes: seed pre-treatment, sowing, seedling transfer and harvesting.
