frost damaged french beans and signs of recovery

[greenstar]

Hello all

I put some of my French Beans out too early and many of them succumbed to the late frost that we had a couple of weeks ago.  Some of them are completely gubbed, but others are showing (slow)signs of recovery and are growing new leaves.  Should I let these grow on or should I cut my losses and pull these and sow others in their place?  Will they recover sufficiently or will they be too damaged?  Does anyone have experience of leaving in frost damaged beans?

Thanks. x

I would leave them in situ and sow some anyway.  You will no doubt have gaps that will need filling.  You can always remove those that are not growing if need be once the newly sown ones are ready to transplant.

If they've got undamaged shoots, or leaf bases from which new shoots can grow, they should be fine as long as they don't get damaged again.

My climbing french beans were all eaten by snails at the growing tip. Now we've had some warm sunny weather all the plants have sent new shoots up the canes and are looking good.

Thanks for the replies.  I've left them in to see what happens and have sown more as well.  I knew it was a good idea to buy all of those seeds in the sales last year!
