The message
from "Alan Holmes" contains these words:

Sow late Oct - Nov, which I did, but the plants are about 3 inches high
now, will they suffer through the winter?

BTW the seeds are Broad Beans Aquadulce!

Shouldn't come to any harm - they're meant to overwinter, and hardening
them like that is supposed to give some protection against blackfly.
