Pumpkins about to cause divorce

I have a house full of tomatoes, pumpkin, cucumber and squash plants. All was fine until I potted them all up for the second time. They're now all in 9inch pots and getting bigger by the day and I've completely run out of room. All the windowsills, the floor in front of the french doors, the cabinet in front of the living room window (can't see TV anymore) and the kitchen table are completely covered. The kids are eating breakfast standing up! My husband says he can't live with them anymore and I have to take them down to the polytunnel on the lottie tomorrow. Temperatures don't look too bad for Bristol at the moment but even so it feels too early to me. He says it's him or the pumpkins. What should I do? I am very fond of the pumpkins...

Definitely the pumpkins - you cannot eat your husband. 

I dont think there should be any problem putting them in pt or gh i have lots of plants in there and they are fine, i do have a parrafin heater in there though

Pumpkins are easily replaced - husbands, not so 

Why not buy a cheap paraffin heater and section off a bit of the pt? If the forecast show <5 degrees then light the heater overnight. My toms are in need of planting out in the gh now so I'll try this approach. I've actually had courgette and french bean plants in a covered container for the last two weeks. It got down to 1 degree in there and the're looking fine. The forecast looks pretty mild for the next week so they should be ok. If your still concerned about the pumpkins, then move your husband/kids into the pt

You are all voices of reason. I will take most of them down to the PT and keep the fleece and the bubble wrap handy.
I'll keep some at home in case of disaster. I have way more than I need anyway due to my inability to only pot up what I need rather than everything than germinates!

you could always move out to the poly tunnel with your beloved pumpkins and co - leave them at home to fend for themselves 

they'll soon want you and your pumpkins back
