Once upon a time, the balcony was a place to dry clothes, pile up miscellaneous items, or place a few bowls of flowers. But now, a new wind rises quietly in the youth circles — blueberries, strawberries, tomatoes ... The balcony cultivation is quietly “extension”。
As nanchang's temperature warmed, many citizens fell in love with planting fruit and vegetables on their own balcony, turning the balcony into a mini fruit and vegetable garden. Recent visits by journalists to flower shops, the florist market and a number of precision shops have revealed that, in addition to the blueberry plant, which is popular in the market, there are fruit and vegetable pots such as tomatoes, strawberries, peppers, cherry carrots and so forth, and that a hot tide of “planting fruit and vegetables” is emerging in south chang。
Blueberry pellets grow into "new pets" for young people
“the planting of blueberries must have a good concentration of fertilizers and regular watering and wiring, with patience.” in recent days, liu jing jing, a citizen living in the west lake district, bought a blueberry plant from a flower shop near his home on the balcony. She didn't have much experience with flowers and thought it was very difficult for her to feed the blueberry basket, but after a month, liu zheng harvested almost 100 blueberry fruit。
Liu jing said she spent $70 to buy a blueberry pellets from the florist shop, and in order to better feed it, she also searched for lessons shared by other online users, in addition to asking the flower shop about farming techniques: blueberries require adequate light, but at high summer temperatures, they need proper shades to avoid direct light; thin liquid fertilizers every 2 to 3 weeks in the spring; and if water is watered, the soil should be wet without water ..
From light to fertilisation to cutting, liu jing has studied carefully at every step, and gradually she has also shown a strong interest in planting blueberries and shared her “heart” with other growers on social platforms. “it was only when i shared my experience that so many young people began to fall in love with blueberries, and when we saw their own blueberries sprouts full of pellets of fruit, their achievements were full.”
Blueberry pellets are popular in the florist market
On the morning of 8 april, journalists came to the market for thousands of flowers, and journalists entered the market and were able to see sporadic citizens choosing preferred flowers and potting plants。
In front of a booth called “friendhood”, journalists saw multi-basket blueberry pellets placed in the most visible position, and a citizen came to consult for a while. “... My kids went to kindergarten, and the teacher said to let them watch the growth patterns of plants, and i was going to buy a pot of plants to go to kindergarten next week, and i happen to see a blueberry pellets here, and i thought i'd buy one back and try to grow one." subsequently, the citizen zheng yalin, who came to consult, bought a bowl of green blueberry seedlings, which had already produced a lot of green fruit, and after consulting the vendor on the method of planting, was pleased to take them home。
The shopkeeper told reporters that there have been a few more citizens, mostly young people, who have recently chosen to buy a blueberry plant, “now that everyone likes to grow fruit and vegetables on the balcony, and that blueberry nuts are good and good, so there are a lot of people who have been asking recently.”
Later, journalists observed in a thousand flower-afflicted florist market that, in addition to blueberry pellets, other fruit and vegetable pellets were being sold - coloured peppers. The price varies from $15 to $25 per basin, from about $25 per bowl for redly red tomatoes to red and green peppers. Prices vary from $12 to $20 per basin to more pro-people。
Growing a mini-basket into a new way of interacting
In addition to a bowl of fruit and vegetable plants, small and delicate mini-cuples are now popular in the market. Yesterday, at noon, journalists walked into the south chang t16 shopping centre and lined up a cup of fruit and vegetables on the shelf. The reporter found that the mini-cup was rich in pumpkins, peppers, fruit corn, peanuts, strawberries, cherry carrots, etc., at a price of $9. 9。
“this mini-plant cup is small, unoccupied and can be placed on a desk, desk or window. The soil, the seeds, the seed, the seed, the seed, the seed, the seed, the seed, the seed, the seed, which can grow in three to five days, without having to work, and the zero base。
In another shop, journalists saw a parent with a 2-year-old daughter standing patiently in front of a mini-cup. "spring has arrived, the children are curious to know how these plants grow, so i brought her here to buy a cup of seed at home and let her experience the fun of growing." zhang said zhang yu。
Moreover, caring for such mini-planted cups is a number of new ways of decompressing workers. Liu jia jia, 27 years old, had a strawberries and a pepper on the window table at her home this year, “being busy at work, returning home after work to see her growing plants grow slowly and grow, and feeling the stress of working in a moment.”

There's great happiness on the balcony
In the streets of nanchang, on the back of the street, the balconies of many families have changed: many of the places used to dry the clothes and pile the groceries have been occupied by green-intended fruit and vegetables. The little tomatoes are covered with branches, the blueberry fruit is quickly ripe, and peppers and mints are fragrances, forming a unique urban “situation line”。
Journalists have seen on social platforms that the topic of “the balcony growing fruit and vegetables” has been viewed almost 1 billion times, and many bloggers have shared the whole process of seeding to harvest fans while continuing to promote the heat of “the balcony growing”。
Why are more and more citizens falling in love with the balcony? For some older people, this is a good way of “terminating time and activity”; for young white collars, caring for these small lives, after a fast-paced work, can “slow down” them to feel a sense of tranquillity and healing。
Perhaps the deeper reason is the desire for a healthy life. Growing it with your own hands, you can rest assured; it's taken away, and the fresh one is the market-buying vegetables. In addition, “the balcony field” has become a bond between family interaction, neighbourhood sharing, in which children can learn all kinds of natural knowledge and can share harvests and fruits with friends。
This is an inch balcony carrying not only fruit and vegetables, but also the citizens' quest for a better life, and a “minor fortune” in fast-paced urban life. It gives the cities of steel and cement a new touch and brings people closer to nature。
