Courgettes will easily grow outdoors in a normal UK summer. Don't waste
greenhouse space on them. I grow a couple on top of my year old compost
heap. The others are properly tender although tomatoes will grow
outdoors in a good year they may get blight.


Thank you.

Do you recommend a particular variety of courgette?


Up here in the north of Scotland I have been growing the variety 'Defender' outside
for years with great success.
