I'm not sure about strawberries because I don't grow them. I would think indoors might be a stretch because they would need lots of sunshine and natural pollination.

There are several considerations for your balcony, especially if it has good sun exposure on the south or east side of your building. Container gardening is a whole science. I've grown tomatoes, peppers, cukes in nothing more than a 5 gallon recycle pail. Earth Boxes are trendy, neat, workable, and a little on the expensive side but very useable in your situation. Topsy - Turveys are kind of cool, also. There are "over the rail" planter boxes that work well on balconeys, all kinds of large potting containers to choose from depending on what you want or need.
