 I'm guessing 'til January for the cabbage! Or is that too obvious?

Are your courgettes not forming now? or at least getting ready to flower...the green and yellow ones certainly are

thats what i thought about the cabbage but surely they wont survive a winter? And the courgette plants are growing fast no veg or flowers yet though.

They'll survive OK, brassicas are tough things. brussels, sprouting brocolli, spring cabbage, spring caulis, kale etc. all sit their quite happily though winter.

They can't stand heat, that's why they hate it when you try & grow seed in heated propagators!
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?

I think you probably just need to be patient with your cougettes...last year mine fruited through to the end of September so there's no need to worry yet. Only 2 of my 4 courgettes have flowers on at the moment, but I know that in a few weeks I'll be harvesting they daily.
