grow courgettes on kitchen windowsill?

I’m new to gardening, and sadly don’t seem very green fingered.

I’ve grown some courgette plants from seed, the first one got (what I think was) mosaic virus so I put it outside and started some other plants – the first (virus) one was then immediately killed outside by the wind!

I now have two plants on my windowsill, they have 4 – 5 nice sizes leaves, but i am scared to plant them out because its pretty windy round here – can i just grow them fully on my kitchen window sill? Will they sill give me nice courgettes!?

Thanks for your help.

PS if you know about gardening please see my other question about peas!

Courgettes are large plants that grow 1-2 meters, and need very large containers to grow, so no, you can’t grow them on a windowsill. Cold is more likely to have killed them than wind, although delicate seedlings raised inside and set outside in the wind could be snapped off.
