Default Pea question

...
I am experimenting with early peas this year
and planted some at the same time as my broad beans
(late November)
I used Metior and was told the they overwinter well.

They where doing well but now the frost has knocked them flat.
Is that the end of them or will they pick up again?.

Also my broad beans are looking a bit sorry for themselves, I
use Aquadulce and they have stood up to the frost and snow
very well in past years.

Does any one here grow early peas?, any tips would be welcome.

Wally, I sowed Aquadulce in November, and a second batch 3 weeks ago. First
lot up 6" and looking good. I intend sowing peas this weekend....if it
doesn't snow. In previous years, I used a polly tunnel, but not this time.
