Yes to that!
Very frustrating after the almost summer conditions of February.

Plant up several in a bucket size pot or container; you can plant then
fairly deep; stand it outside in the day and bring it in overnight if
there is any chance of frost, pinch out the tops when you have 2 pairs
of true leaves, this will give you bush plants and will give you what
we used to call ground beans, earlier than climbing plants.
