Hi SS, Broad beans are fully hardy and some varieties can be planted in the autumn and will survive everything the winter can throw at them. Do 'harden them off' before planting out though by putting the plants out during the day and bringing them in at night, for about a week. Good idea to protect them from the wind, especially when they get taller.
A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.
