Winter season in our climate gives opportunity to easily grow bountiful harvest in your available space without deploying any special efforts .

It gives a self pride to pluck your hand grown vegetables and gives regular exercise to your body.

            French beans are so easy to grow and germinate and they give early harvest too


                                                                     

Radish is one winter vegetable that is so tasteful with high nutrient content ,It takes just a more than month to grow them from seed

Another unique flavored bean contrary to French beans is Labalab Beans popularly known as (Semphali or Balor) in our region

Soil preparation for planting vegetables in containers

For soil preparation u need porous soil u'll require                                                                                 

- Garden soil, 60%                                                                                                                                      

- River sand or bajri  30%                                                                                                                           

- Organic manure    10%                                                                                                                            

Plantation :

Green leafy vegetables like Fenugreek,Spinach,coriander and others are directly sown in places or even in shallow planters since they have small roots.                                                                        

Carrots ,Radish,beetroot,turnip and all other edible root vegetables require deep containers to       propagate itself and are sown directly .                                                                                   

Peas,Beans,Tomatoes,Eggplant,Green chilli,capsicum and alike vegetables can be sown at a place then further transplanted according to your space within germination.
