tomatoes before going. He lost the lot.
We may not get another frost, but it's a big risk. If you plant the
beans just inside the canes, you could wrap fleece around the cane
structure up to 2 or 3 feet, which might be enough.
Depends where you are.

We had a v. light frost on the lawn this morning.
