Potbound or risk the weather?

Afternoon all, 

I've got some pumpkins and sweetcorn that, due to the very sunny weather, have gone a bit mad.  They seem to have grown so much bigger quicker this year.  The problem is they are now getting far too big for their pots.  So what are the problems of letting them get potbound?  Shall I leave them in the greenhouse or risk planting them out on the plot.  There's no sign of a frost at the moment here in deepest Essex, but I wouldn't noramally plant these things out until early June.  I would put them into bigger pots, but I just don't have the room  in the greenhouse (plus my youngest seems to take great joy in digging up anything you leave unattended  )

Mine were the same, so I planted them out and put sun tunnels over them (plastic cloches) until the risk of frost is past. If you have no cloches, you could put 4 bamboo canes around each plant and cover them with a plastic carrier bag as protection. This works quite well as a mini greenhouse 

You could cover your bets by putting some out and - as others suggest -be ready to cover them if there is a frost. In the greenhouse space you freeup why not pot on the remainder into bigger pots so if you do lose some  of those you put out, at least the others are likely to be ok.

Bottom line though is pot bound means some impairment , frost means death.

Exellent point, couldn't have put it better myself.
