It's getting late to sow broad beans now but you don't need to do what you
describe as they are very hardy especially when compared to runner beans.
That said, there's nothing to stop you doing what you said but they would be
better sown a lot earlier in the year that way. It would be easier all round
if you sowed straight into the ground now.
