Default Courgettes in tubs - not growing large but still producing

The yellow courgettes are a bit of a puzzle.

They are still flowering and setting new fruit, but the existing fruit
isn't growing like a mad thing like earlier in the year.

I will remove all but a couple of the newest fruit (and eat them) and see
what happens but I though marrows and courgettes kept growing in the
autumn once the fruit was set.


Remember that we have only 2/3 the light of midsummer. The reason
that many such plants grow but don't ripen is for that reason, not
the temperatures.
