I grew gherkins outside last year with good success.

Ditto, I have grown them outside too. In fact, I have never tried growing them in the greenhouse.

This month's RHS magazine The Garden has a wonderful feature on diversity on allotments - with stories of Italian, Punjabi, Jamaican and Polish growers. The Polish grower has gherkins everywhere, outdoors ;D ;D
