Maybe, you're mid country but worth a go.
If you've got more seed, then a) pop 1 in as you plant out. b) sow more on the window sill
Could straw them up for shelter. Beware slugs

I'll give it a bit longer but soon they be wrapping themselves round the roller blind?

We've grown acres of runner beans and traditional date to sow outdoors for us is 19th April.

Depending how many you have to plant out ,,if its a few ,you could risk it but cover them at night with bubble wrap or that white plant fleece just to be safe .

Still remember sat at my nans table with one of those been slicer gizmos ,,clamped to the table and put a bucket under it ,,my grandad grew loads of them and could eat them as fast as they grew ,,,we used to say he could hide behind a been cane ,,there was nothing on him .

What are you going to support them with, we had a frame and a few wigwams and threw fleece over if it looked like frost, but stopped growing them because nobody liked them after the father in law died.

Got 2 metal sweet pea frames in the shed someone bought us 2 years ago and never used them! So to free up some space in shed i though i had better use them and cant eat sweet peas! So beans it is.

I do! sliced up with bean slicer like spaghetti and lashings of thick gravy Only the smaller young ones though not the tuff old ones about 2ft long

Used to have them like that at Granddads years ago when at school, i used to walk to his house at lunch time and most days there was a full on roast dinner waiting! chicken or Beef with roast spuds and veg but sometimes it was gammon and home made chips

I miss his chips and runner beans oh and the all year round mince pies every 2 weeks he would bake a batch of either mince pies or fruit cup cakes

As suggested ,have some fleece on standby. My toms are planted out already.

Same here ,,dragged abit more muck over the earlies and put the hanging baskets undercover just in case .

My potatoes look like they've had a dose of paraquat. Only garden so not suicidal about it, amazingly the field full a few miles away look fine.
