I had the same problem and I agree, it’s especially infuriating when they only take one bite! Little furry jerks. I bought this green netting from Amazon and use steaks to keep it in place. Since it’s in a balcony you might be able to something creative with it. It’s really stretchy https://www.amazon.com/dp/B075DBLNW2/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_cBasFbNPQNG29

Shameless promo for an app I use all the time:

PlantNet. It's amazing. You can take photos, you can upload photos. I love it. I uploaded your pic and it also suggested Goosefoot.

I replaced all my under cabinet kitchen lighting with led grow lights, full spectrum white light and the herbs grow like crazy in my kitchen

You are asking for beginners, I get that. But what if you could make one purchase and then not have to buy more books as time progresses? The Vegetable Gardeners Bible by Ed Smith is excellent.

We are using these bags right now and they are great! Perfect size for 3-4 small plants or one big squash plant. I really like how lightweight they are, even when completely full of soil.

Get some self watering pots from Walmart. That's what I started with. They have a reservoir at the bottom that holds water and gets wicked up by the soil to the roots during the day.

You should be able to get these books from your library:

The Vegetable Gardener's Container Bible

and

McGee & Stuckey's Bountiful Container: Create Container Gardens of Vegetables, Herbs, Fruits, and Edible Flowers

These are two of the first books I found on the subject and they came in handy.
