Farming has always been a countryside thing. But now, farms are coming to the balconies （阳台） of city flats.
According to a recent report, sales of vegetable seeds (种子) on the Internet doubled compared with last year.
Zhang, a senior high school student from Anhui Province, said his love for planting was primary school when he lived with his grandpa in the countryside.
Though farming needs hard work, Zhang said he felt excited when he saw seeds turn into plants. Now, Zhang still keeps up his hobby with a balcony garden.
" Growing fruit and vegetables not only brings delicious food, but also reminds me of the happy time with my grandpa ," said Zhang.
Unlike Zhang, Fang from Shenzhen thinks that planting a garden is a good way to relax and develop patience. To deal with it, she started growing vegetables on her balcony this year. Most of the seeds were given to her by her friends. Not knowing what plants the seeds were from, she just planted them and waited patiently. After half a year, her balcony became a small garden." Seeing different colors and breathing fresh air, I feel closer to nature ," Fang said.
