Question Advice for an elderly unfit flower lover required

Hello, I am a 72 year old living on a hillside in Wales we have very sloping land (not garden) with a thin covering of shale, therefore most of the flowers need to be in pots. I have a 10x8 greenhouse, not heated, its shaded and down 13 steps so carring much is not on, The Good points are that we have a long leanto on the North side of the house where this year I have had some success with geraniums, (but not enough) We also have a Balcony 55ft long by 12ft at tree top height on the South side of the house, its open to the sky, this area gets very as you would imagine.

Now my question I want abundance of colour next year , I would like to have some stimulation through the winter growing plants for colour and scent also pot plants for the home and stuff my wife can cut for arrangements. I cannot heat the undercover areas but I can fit soil warming cables if required.
What can any one suggest. I love scent and colour, cant lift much and digging is out of the question, perhaps I should take up stamp collecting or train spotting. Proff
