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

but it seems only other day, that we were told that if one ignores
blackfly they disappear completely.
