I reckon that marrows would grow well judging from the success I had
growing gourds. I also grew daffodils and geraniums.

I think geraniums are a good plant for balconies you see them growing
on balconies and in window boxes all over the Netherlands, Germany and
Austria, they need little attention and can go without water for long
periods. I water the ones on my north facing office window ledge once
every three weeks.
