I don't know if this is the right place to ask my question, but since I am an eternal beginner ...
my broad bean plants had reached about forty cm, the frost and the snow came even in the south! since they are a little (a lot) the mouth, the first flowers have burnt, and the stems are lying or broken, but raise their heads and do not seem dead. I observe "greedy" who seem to want to develop.
I would tend to want to prune the top of damaged stems to let the plants develop into a "clump". What do you think ?

I wouldn't prune too quickly: plants often transfer elements or biomass from the "lost" part to what will develop. So in any case not before it dries up or rots ...

I also have beans but they have not yet flowered, I am in the Lyon region ... I find that they are resistant to frost, it is true that they are a little lying down but it looks like 'go. I don't think about touching them until I see how they react to the return of warmer weather. It froze 6 consecutive nights luckily only 1 day without a thaw.

I have beans at different stages of development (but not 40 cm and in flower), the smallest have bruised the most, because the young leaves have remained frozen against the layer of hay, itself frozen, for three or four days. The tips are all black, but it is very green below, for the moment I do not touch anything, I will see that in a few days.

hello everyone,
in transplanting bare root, is it always preferable to "dress" the plan, whatever the plant? Are there any vegetable plants that do not support this technique? in Didier's videos (I haven't seen them all yet) he shows the technique very well but it was for alliaceae .... who tried parsley and basil for example?
thanks in advance

For parsley and basil, I start from seedlings in pots (which I do not dress). Ditto for cabbages - but there, I sometimes start off and transplant "bare roots" - without dressing. I have no objective arguments - a "good" or a "bad" habit ???? But a habit!

For example, I thinned red beets and transplanted the plants. There, I dress severe too. Only the very small leaves of the heart remain. Thus, it is indestructible: it has happened to me to see take root too many plants that I had thrown away.

Ditto for "salads", lettuce etc ... There, I eat the leaves like "mesclun" and transplant the "stumps" - it starts again from the heart. Just make sure that there are the very small leaves in the center.

You can easily guide yourself by your observations: if the leaves in question dry out after transplanting, it is better to remove them before (this would have to avoid unnecessary water losses and increase the chances of success of the plantation). .
