Growing Broad Beans, also Fava bean

View the Broad Beans page

23 Jun 11 Karen Harris (Australia - sub-tropical climate)
I live on the gold coast and have planted some beans, they have been growing very well, but today the leaves looked a bit sorry for themselves, we had a cold night last night, no frost, I think it went down to about 6 degrees. the soil was damp, so I have watered it again. Could this be the cold night's or something else? Any suggestions, this is my first time at planting, so far carrots, spring onions, Cos and capsicum are doing well. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
