Balcony Garden Help

[Ashen Key]

So, on the weekend I'm moving out of my current family house into my own apartment. I've lived there before, and one of the things that threw me about living in a city apartment as opposed to in the suburbs was the lack of a garden (and here I thought myself an anti-gardening person...). While there are lots of trees in the area, and I have a good few of them (unless that's changed), it's not exactly the same. So, I was planing (once I have this thing people call 'money' again) to start a balcony garden, of even just a pot or two.

Trouble is, I haven't got the slightest idea of where to start. So, if anyone has any recs for good websites on balcony gardens (for the record, I'm ACT, Australia), or any good books, or any just plain advice, that'd be WONDERFULLY helpful.
