I think you may have been a bit eager to sow them. Mine will go in pots in the greenhouse in a couple of weeks.

Depending on where you are in the country, and your last expected frost date, you could risk hardening them off and planting them out. If not they will probably fail anyhow - but it's not too late to grow more.

When building the bean frame/wigwam, plant the beans inside the frame, then you can place sheets of plastic/glass or fleece around the outside to give them some protection.

I'm not guaranteeing they will survive though - but at least you will be giving them a chance.
