Plan your green beans (bush) planting around local frost risk and soil temperature, then work backward from the harvest week your buyers need. The calendar below is a starting point, not a field-level weather forecast.
Gainesville FL, Houston, New Orleans, southern GA coast. Average last spring frost February 25, first fall frost December 1 — a 279-day frost-free season.
Windows are calculated from your zone's average frost dates. Adjust ±1 week for microclimates, elevation, and your own frost records.
Do not soak seed — beans rot easily. Successive plantings every 2 weeks until 60 days before first frost.
Plant near: corn, cucumbers, carrots
Keep away from: onions, garlic
BAU Farm Intelligence turns these windows into per-field tasks — indoor seed-start reminders, transplant dates, harvest projections — using your farm's actual frost history.
