My poor courgettes and tomatoes. Three nights I remembered to bring them back in, and then a couple of times getting home late and I completely forget about them. It hasn't been too cold, luckily, and they're actually looking quite well. In the case of the tomatoes, better than when they were inside. I supposed I should keep bringing them back inside, but it's reasonably warm most of the coming nights, isn't it? I think we have 8 degrees predicted on one night but otherwise at least 12.

I would be inclined to leave them where they are and be prepared to throw fleece over them should it be necessary.Gardening requires a lot of water - most of it in the form of perspiration. Lou Erickson, critic and poet -
I forgot to bring in my squash plants one night and they seemed all the better for it tbh. I now just leave them out all the time and they look happier.
Plants are so fickle!
I'd just leave them out too and be ready with fleece just in case as roilet said.Comment

HAHAHA! Thats exactly what I do too
I'm all fussy and caring...then someone phones or we go out one night and the plants get a taste of how neglectful their life will become!
Don't do it with cucumbers though...they are really unforgiving!

I murdered my aubergines doing that but the toms are all out (and have been for nearly 2 weeks now) and my outdoor Q's are still thriving in their pots with a bell cloche on top.I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work. Thomas A. Edison

Beware the perils of .. wind burn
Happily the plant survived & has grown some new foliage, but it could just as easily been compost
