Vegetable to obtain in yard back o' Bourke (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

courgette

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'vegetable' is the definition.
(courgette is a kind of vegetable)

'obtain in yard back o' bourke' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'obtain' could be 'get' (synonyms) and 'get' is found in the answer.
'yard' could be 'court' (court is a kind of yard) and 'court' is located in the remaining letters.
A single letter 'e' remains which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'to' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
