I now have a balcony! Any ideas for low maintenance gardening on 40 sqft?

That's entirely climate-dependent. Also, which way does it point? Southern exposure and northern exposure are completely different.

Climate: Dutch sea climate, which is essentially Seattle but with more sun hours. It's pointing exactly south-east and doesn't stick out of the building, so it gets shadow from the building itself.

Find a sunny day and figure out roughly how many hours of sun you get that will help you figure out what you can plant. Mostly partial shade is my guess
