    123) You have nightmares where your favourite plants get munched by slugs or lie awake wondering what to plant where.

      124) When you lay in bed awake/worrying on a chilly night in the early hours for 2 or 3 hours, waiting until OH stirs, to ask/check "Did we close up the tunnels last night?"

            You empty your bookcase and take the back off it and then put it on the windowsill in your living room to give yourself more room.
            ( I don't have a greenhouse and live in a flat on the eighth floor).
            Then you take carrier bags full of plants and seedlings over to your mums.

                    On 'brown bin' collection day you find yourself walking up to bins with plants hanging out of the tops so you can ID them.

                      126) You take your cucumber plants on holiday so you can give them the TLC they deserve. Four plants fit in a bottle carrier bag snugly:

                      7 days being moved to the sunniest window position in our holiday home:

                      When they got home they are double the size of the 4 I left at home:

                      Just shows what a bit of heat and sun will do :)
