I planted my french beans last week. The next day we had very strong winds which shredded them. The wind caused serious damage to my glass and metal coldframe too. So, I imagine now is fine. I am in the south.
I sowed both runner beans and climbing French beans on 16th April. They germinated quickly in a cool greenhouse, and I have hardened them off over the past week. I planted them out today. If the weather should turn colder at night I shall cover them with fleece (I had to do this for a couple of nights last year) but otherwise they should be OK.
I'm in Somerset near the Bristol Channel, so our climate is warmer than average. If I was in a cooler area I think I would have waited a couple of weeks.
