Thought i’d share this photo of the balcony plants, some are doing better than others. Most of the sunflowers are just loving it at the moment, and I just cannot wait to eat the coriander that is growing. Some of the paeonies I planted early seem a bit sluggish but are picking up slowly.
Most of the containers (plastic) were gifts but I would really love to eventually change them out for terracotta pots. The only downside to that is that they are alot more expensive here in Sweden and so I am hoping I can find some second hand ones.

I love terracotta pots to but they dry out so much faster than plastic.
We try to avoid plastics because of toxin leeching and because they don’t look as nice as terracotta/clay pots. We dont have a huge problem with the pots getting dry because it rains here quite often (we are located about 1 hour north of Stockholm, Sweden).
