We're finally enjoying summer temperatures and I got some violets for the balcony, they are some of the first summer flowers I can trust to survive as the nights may still be cold. Typically in Finland the risk of night frost isn't over until 10 June or so, but it's warmer here in the south and our balcony doesn't get as cold as the ground level. Still, I usually wait at least until June before I buy any summer plants. I had some daffodils for Easter and they lasted for a good while but they are past their prime now.
My indoor plants are doing fine, I was going to repot some of them in March but then just never got around to doing it... Probably because it was still super wintery in March and I didn't feel like doing 'spring stuff'... I suppose it isn't too late to do that even now.
