What can be planted in the corners of walls in rural areas where sunlight is not exposed? Why?

In some corners of the countryside where the sun is not exposed, smart farmers are trying their best to grow some practical vegetables and aquatic plants from the perspective of affordability, economy, convenience and suitability. What are the main ones? Let’s take a look.

? ?First, grow seasoning vegetables. I am an authentic southerner, and my eating habits tend to be spicy and heavy-flavored. I especially like to dip my dishes in water, which means that no matter whether meat or vegetable dishes, dipping them in water is essential for every meal. Mint, Houttuynia cordata, fragrant willow, chives, etc. are all the main ingredients dipped in water. One characteristic of these plants is that they are afraid of drought but not shade, and like to grow in moist and shady places. I classify these vegetables as "lazy vegetables". If you plant them once, you can harvest many crops, and you don't even need to replant them every year. When we eat them, we only pinch the tender pointed leaves and eat them. The more we pinch, the more they grow. The main reason for planting these vegetables, besides planting small quantities and making them easy to eat and pick, is that it is not advisable to turn the soil at the corners at any time for fear of damaging the foundation of the house, so we choose to plant seasoning vegetables.

? ?The second is to plant vegetables that mainly feed on stems and leaves. For example, taro, water spinach, tofu vegetables, purple leaf vegetables and so on. Let’s talk about taro first. There are several types of taro that are commonly grown in our area, including hairy taro, copper pot taro, fragrant taro and dripping taro. Among them, hairy taro, copper pot taro and fragrant taro generally use underground rhizome taro as their main food part. Digging, so I don’t recommend planting. Here, I recommend planting dripping taro, because we mainly eat the stems of this kind of taro, and rarely dig out the roots. The most common way to eat it is to tear off the outer skin on the stems, which can be fried or boiled, and planted to survive. Finally, it can be harvested for several years. Other vegetables such as water spinach, tofu vegetables, and purple leaf vegetables can also be planted. We also eat the tender stems and leaves of these vegetables. They like shade and are afraid of drought, so they are suitable for planting in the corners of walls.

The third is aquatic plants. In our local area, there is a plant called "bristle grass" that is very popular among people. This plant is called "Adiantum fern". It is afraid of drought and sun. It likes water and humid environment. It often grows beside ditches, wells or moist cliffs, in the corners of walls where the sun does not shine. , bristle grass is also suitable for growing. Another reason is that the root system of bristle grass is shallow and it is not easy to damage the base of the house. Under normal circumstances, we will transplant bristle grass on absorbent stones. As a bonsai, it is a popular ornamental plant. At the same time, bristle grass is also a herbal medicine that rural people can use to treat burns and scalds.
