What vegetables to grow on the balcony, on the one hand, should be determined according to personal preferences and needs, and on the other hand, it is necessary to consider which vegetables are suitable for the environmental conditions of your balcony. Generally speaking, if space permits, most fruits and vegetables can be grown on the balcony. The so-called environmental conditions of the balcony are mainly the balcony orientation and the closure of the balcony.

The orientation determines the light conditions of the balcony, while the enclosed condition of the balcony determines the temperature conditions of the balcony. The temperature of the fully enclosed balcony is also higher in winter, and the temperature limit is smaller, and the range of vegetables that can be selected is also relatively wide, and vegetables can be grown all year round. Semi-enclosed or unenclosed balconies have low temperatures in winter, and it is generally not easy to plant vegetables in winter.

More important is the orientation of the balcony, under the condition that the temperature allows, it is generally necessary to choose vegetables according to the balcony orientation.
