Unfortunately the re-emergence of spring comes to late to save our Twinkle peas. Finally gave in and dug the remains in to the soil today- lots of nitrogen fixing nodules on the roots, so will do some good. Sifting through the dead plants I did find one that had obviously put out new growth in the last few weeks (most probably before the severe frost) , and two (it was three until I snapped the shoot) sort of green and slightly wilted looking, but not withered and brown.These are now in a big pot snugly in the green house- they may survive who knows?

Meanwhile the dwarf and french beans although frosted, have some good healthy greenery under the fleece- left them alone until we don't have any frosts expected.
