My courgettes are already fine big plants too....I'm now putting them outdoors during the day, to accustom them to real life, and just popping them back into the glasshouse at night. I'm thinking I'll plant them out in May.

Me too, everything comes in at night.

I have so many butternut squash plants though that I have put some in a raised bed and covered it with clear plastic. I know its too early but if they grow I will have a crop early and I have plenty more plants if they fail. Worth a try as its been so hot this month.

Hi I've made a raised drill with plenty of compost within which is ready for the courgettes. I think May is a good time to plant out. We should be fairly sure of being frost-free by then. The drill isn't far from a hedge which I hope will shelter them from the wind.
