It&#8217;s 150 yards long &amp; we have 2 fairly large vegetable patches. And yet, I have no space left in either veggie patch that will fit these yellow tomatoes, and a similar-sized cluster which is in the sitting room. Also, 3 courgette plants which have buds on them are keen to feel the (frickin freezing so far) summer breeze on their&#8230; leaves.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve already put 2 courgettes round the side of the house in a previously fallow bed. (an aside &#8211; while I was round there, the kids joined me. I had a wheelbarrow with an open compost bag in it on the narrow path. Joel climbed into the barrow while I wasn&#8217;t looking. First I heard was a &#8220;crump&#8221; as the barrow tipped over, and Joel fell under the hawthorn hedge almost into next door&#8217;s garden. I don&#8217;t think he was very impressed at the level of sympathy I showed, given that I could hardly help him up for laughing. I&#8217;m laughing again now, thinking about it) I can check on them from the spare room without having to set a foot outside (unless something is clearly up with them. I can&#8217;t open the windows there or the flat roof sinks a bit &amp; you can&#8217;t shut them, also they&#8217;re top-lights so if I watered the plants through the window it&#8217;d be about as hit &amp; miss as it gets).<\/p>\n<p>So, I&#8217;m thinking either the fallow bit on the other side of the roses at the side of the house, although I can&#8217;t check on them from indoors so clearly not an ideal option. Or grow-bags on the patio or somewher in the yard &#8211; the downside with the yard is that although one side of it is fairly sunny, it&#8217;s also where we park the cars, so Steve would almost certainly run over them at some point, because YELLOW <a href=\"http:\/\/www.aberdeencity.gov.uk\/xev_EventDetail.asp?id=2096\" target=\"_blank\">MOONSQUIRTERS<\/a> neither squeak nor run.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of which, I&#8217;ve just realised I haven&#8217;t booked the cat in anywhere for when we&#8217;re away.
