Extending fruiting on courgettes?

Getting towards the end of the season for courgettes, and the ones I
have in pots seem to be mainly scraggy old leaves which seem to serve
mainly as a refuge for slugs and an umbrella over the new growth.
However there is still a growing point and new buds forming.
I've cleared all the old leaves in the hope that this may encourage
new growth and a few more courgettes.
Has anyone managed to extend the season, or is it all down to day
length, sun, and maximum temperature?

I think it is as you say all down to day length, sun, and maximum
temperature.
As with all cultivated veg plants IMO.
My new interest in greenhouse growing is a bit iffy. I will give it another
go next year. I am not very optomistic.
