Aquadulce autumn greenhouse sown broad beans flowering

The plants are about 70cm high and pot bound and I’m not sure what to do with this one. There are no pollinators around. Maybe pinch out the flowers, plant out to slow them down or cut back?

All ideas greatfully received

Thanks

I have broad beans in greenhouse, though not flowering yet. Have a row outside which were sown at the same time and planted outside at the same time as the ones in the greenhouse.
The green house ones, as you might imagine, are three times as tall as the outside ones. But all are tillering.

If you have no space in greenhouse to put them in the ground, I think I would plant yours outside, which would check them, perhaps with fleece over for a little while to cushion the blow.

I’m no expert, just an idea.

Thanks Halezky,
They all went out yesterday, just in time for the gale! Will post back the outcome in a few months
