I noticed that some other allotment holders had
broad beans early this year, when I asked was told
that they was planted in the autumn and overwintered,
so I planted some myself this autumn.

Went to check how things was progressing and found
that the frost has knocked them flat.

Should I have done something to protect them and will
they pick up ??

There are no other gardeners about to ask this weather.

As soon as it gets warmer in the day you won't notice that they appeared to
be in trouble as they always droop in the frost or ice but soon perk up. Put
my second lot in on Sunday
