Just lokked out of my window and there is a blanket of frost everywhere! Glanced over at my broad beans, and alas they have perished Didnt even think there would be a frost last night. Oh well Jack may have won this battle, but his hasnt won the war!

I don't think we can tell the variety from a pic CS. If the tops go black, cut them down to the base and repent for your sin of impatience! They were planted too early. You may find they re-grow.
Mine went in last week and I finished sowing yesterday!Whooops - now what are the dogs getting up to?

They'll probably not last the winter that tall.. the idea for overwintering them is they'll grow a few inches tall, and as a result will be more tolerant to the high winds, and cold weather -- ones with too much lush growth are too 'soft'.
I've sown some probably 2-3 weeks ago, they're just breaking the surface now, so fingers crossed by the time they stop growing (despite it being so mild here) they should be a couple of inches tall.
Mine are in modules, hoping to get them on the plot in 2 weeks.
I notice that you've grown some in planter sacks - by a wall - perhaps it's a suntrap + sheltered -therefore warmer than being in the open garden?
