Nigel thanks for your comments, a good idea to overwinter The Sutton.
And Vilokini, I would let nature sort things because its really too early for flowers to set. Broad bean plants need some reasonable warmth to grow enough for pods to develop and have tasty beans.
So if your early flowers turn into pods, they may abort anyway.
They will probably fall off then new flowers develop in two or three weeks, or even later as its cooler now than in winter.
