No, that's not right. Broad beans are HARDIER than onions, and can
happily survive quite hard frosts. I don't know if the original,
Mediterranean form (e.g. el ful) can, but the forms grown in the UK
assuredly can.

Peas are also pretty hardy. Unless the ground actually goes solid,
or they come through and then flop over, I wouldn't worry. But I am
not going to plant mine for a month yet.
