Title: broad beans kiled over
Post by: Rosyred on January 09, 2010, 13:41:02
they are in the little plastic greenhouse but since the snow some are leaning over - will the perk up when the weather gets warmer? Or do they need a water??

It is possible that they have frozen through the sides of the pots in which case they can die, although many plants are perfectly hardy when the roots are in the ground many die if roots get frozen. I would not water them until frost has if the soil feels moist or hard.

Mine are in pots in the mini greenhouse. Last time we had slightly milder temperatures they were OK. It's got even colder since though.
