The reason why home grown vegetables taste sweeter than those bought from the store is that they are fresher. And of course home grown will always be fresher because you can harvest the crop and eat it straightaway. Some people may not want to create a whole kitchen garden, but it is perfectly possible to grow a good quantity of vegetables in pots. You just need to choose the right vegetables and this is where the list will help. I found the list on the Top Inspired website.

There is no better thing than harvesting your own vegetables. Just think about those juicy, deliciously sweet and sour cherry tomatoes that you freshly picked from the plant on your balcony. Without a doubt, homegrown vegetables are altogether different from the ones you purchase at the grocery store.
Don?t worry if you don?t have a garden. The good news is that many vegetables that grow in soil can be grown in a pot or container. Some of them are very simple to grow even for beginner vegetable gardeners. You will be surprised by the amount of crops you can harvest when growing veggies in containers.
Vegetables are meant to be grown and eaten in season when they taste best! Here are our TOP 10 vegetable crops to try in containers.

Depending on which type of carrot you go for, the?long roots, such as ?Nantes? or the shorter ones like the ?Thumbelina? choose the adequate pot to be deep enough for your carrots. Usually the?short-rooted varieties do well in pots. Once the seeds are sown (sow it thinly 2-3 cm apart) and make sure to keep the soil damp. Two months later you can harvest the sweet and crispy carrots!
