The UF/IFAS Extension Alachua County Office is pleased to announce that the August “Plant of the Month” is green beans.
A cup of green beans provides about 25 percent of your daily supply of vitamin K and 20 percent of vitamin C, along with fiber, manganese, vitamin A, potassium, and folate.
August is a good time to grow green beans in North Central Florida. Check the
Plant of the Month website for information on planting, harvesting, recipes, and more. Listen to the
Extension Cord Podcast to get further insights on the Plant of the Month.
The Plant of the Month program is a collaborative effort between the Alachua County Board of County Commissioners, UF/IFAS Extension Alachua County, Alachua County Master Gardener Volunteers, the Alachua County Public Library, and Working Food.
