Courgettes - Still growing outdoors

[rainyp5655]

Does anyone else still have courgettes growing outdoors or am I particularly lucky?



I have written about it on my blog

My pattisons were still growing until few days ago, when I decided enough. But the small frost nipped the fruits and they are bleh... Now. But if no frost they seemed to be growing astill although at a slower rate.

Not up here in the north-west, Jack Frost has had them all, we're reliant on kale now

Mine finished last month its far to cold overnight here in Derbyshire for anything other than Kale, sprouts and parsnips.

I finished mine in late October just before our first frost. Garden has been snowed over for nearly a fortnight now, and -5/-7C at night. Temp back up to -1 overnight last night, but more snow flurries today.

Pulled mine up about a month ago outside as although the plants were still OKish the fruits weren't growing and there was nothing more going to happen. Pulled the spare polytunnel plant up a couple of weeks ago, that might have done a bit more but I wanted the space for winter / spring brassicas to overwinter.

Ours lasted later than normal but have been mush for a while now. Our chillies in the poly however are still hanging on. The toms are on their way out, partly due to botrytis and partly due to the fact that it's winter.
