Spring beans sown in autumn/winter?

[Rob Holmes]

I'm sure this has been done before but couldn't find the old thread;
Whats the minimum temp that spring beans can tolerate?
Last years hard winter didn't seem to kill any volunteers, so thinking if I can drill early = early harvest next year

did you do this Rob?

No, not had the bottle to do so yet

Vertigo spring bean volunteers in my following wheat crop have had a fair kicking from autumn frosts but they were 6-12 true leafed plants. I've sown good crops of spring beans in Feb with following frosts without any issues.
