    In the midst of busy and crowded urban life, many people use their balconies or small patches of land to create their own little garden. They then share the joy of their harvest on social media, offering urban dwellers a break from the chaotic pace of life.

    The Parks and Street Lights Office, Public Works Department, Taipei City Government reminds everyone that autumn is approaching, but daytime sunlight remains intense, with temperatures reaching up to 35°C. Adequate shading is recommended. This is also still typhoon season, so take precautions against strong winds and ensure proper support and stabilization. Transplanting of general trees and shrubs is not recommended during this time; if necessary, opt for container-grown plants with intact root systems and pay attention to water management to ensure survival.

    According to Teacher You, vegetables suitable for cultivation in northern regions during this season include leaf lettuce, Chinese cabbage, bok choy, cucumbers, pumpkins, water spinach, amaranth, and sweet potato leaves. By planting according to the season, a bountiful harvest can be achieved.
