Broad Beans

[Kimbo]

In relation to my last post re the leggy broad beans that I have started off indoors - is it ok to now put these outside or will any possible coming frost see them off?

I would harden them off for a week or so......put them outside for the daytime but bring them inside at night....this will aclimatise them to the colder temps.

Thanks - will let them get some sun today as it is not too cold

Some one at our allotments has planted his broad beans today but I guess they will be putting fleece over if there is a frost, or are broad beans ok once they have hardened off?
