How does your garden grow?

This summer I've tried growing tomatoes, strawberries, courgette (zucchini), carrots, and beetroots.  All grown in containers, some outside and some in my porch.

Indoor containers:

Tomatoes, strawberries (blue vase), courgette (beside blue vase) 05/06/2013

Porch tomatoes 06/28/2013 
Courgette 06/28/2013

The indoor containers seem to be doing really well.  The insert with the tomato plants recommends pinching off the side shoots....will have to figure out what exactly that means and then do it.  The strawberry plant is flowering well and the Courgette has been re planted in a large pot and appears well.

Outdoor containers:

The outdoor containers contain a variety of different veg.  I wanted to know whether these plants would be less likely to be attacked by bugs.  They are relatively bug-free for the moment but run the risk of being over-crowded.
