overwintering garlic and broad beans

Garlic is definitely okay to plant in pots now, I am not sure about broad beans, I can't see why not, but someone on here will probably know for certain. To be honest I find an early spring sowing of broad beans soon catches up.   

I always set them off in pots about now and plant out some time in November when the plants get established. I always keep some spares in the GH (unheated), in case frost does claim any. This year, I had some left over which actually flowered in the pot. I planted them out in a bit of space I cleared when they were about a foot tall and they cropped really well.
