You most probably have one or the other object on your balcony that was left there all winter, maybe some furniture, pots, luminous objects, or gardening tools.

Furthermore, do not forget to verify the state of your balcony floor and walls to make sure they survived the winter.

Sowing, planting and repotting on your balcony

Plants surely make up a large part of your balcony, therefore you need to take care of them appropriately.

If you have flowers that survived the winter, you are off to a great start. In the meantime, awaiting their flourishment, you can sow flowers (to add color), or produce (to nourish yourself from home) or hang up other plants on your guardrails.

If you need advice on what to plant depending on your balcony’s orientation, this blogpost is right for you.
