Although it is early,I can understand why you planted a couple more. Having just two bean plants at (earlier than normal) harvest time,wouldn't produce many beans for a meal & having four plants to protect from cold will be manageable with cloche protection. But I would harden up the ones that are 1ft big for 1-2 weeks,before planting out,maybe a straw mulch around the base of the plants? They'l need protecting from slugs. I cut plastic bottles in half,so there's a big hole each end,then put copper tape around it,then that sits just below the soil surface with the plant inside,slugs can't get to the plant
