“Luckily， I have some outside space on my balcony. I love surprising myself with what I can successfully grow there，” said Song， a college student.

According to a recent report， the sales of vegetable seeds online in the first quarter doubled compared with the same period last year. Sales of products like gardening tools have increased by three times since April of last year. Out of all the people buying farming tools and seeds， most were born after 2000， like Song.

Song， a young “balcony farmer”， said his passion for planting was formed in his childhood when he lived with his grandma in the countryside， who liked to plant seasonal vegetables in her backyard garden. Now， Song lives in the city without a yard， but he continues his hobby with a balcony garden. “Growing fruits and vegetables not only brings delicious food， but also reminds me of the happy times with my grandma，” said Song.

Song is not alone. Fang Hua， from a computer company， considers planting a garden a good way to relax and develop patience. Bearing many working responsibilities， the 26-year-old girl sometimes feels stressful. To relax herself， she started planting seeds and waited patiently on her balcony. After half a year， her balcony has become a “small garden”， including different flowers and herbs.

“I need a space to escape from my daily duties，” Fang said， seeing the various colors and breathing fresh air. “I feel closer to nature on my balcony.” The vegetables and herbs may not be main foods on our table， but they will surely add a touch of taste to our busy days.
