From general water supply point of view I think we'd really need more rain here too, though - even if just now, it's looking rather fresh and green 'on the surface' :) As for my balcony plants, I'm trying to keep things simple... I know the strawberries are 'low maintenance' so decided to go with more of those. When they've taken down the scaffolding I'll also put out a couple of geraniums that have survived the winter indoors.
