Description

Pinto Beans are the tried-and-true staple of any self-sufficient garden—easy to grow, high yielding, and loaded with flavor.

These bush-type dry beans grow compact and upright, making them ideal for rows, raised beds, or small plots. Their mottled tan-and-brown pods hold plump beans with a creamy texture and earthy, nutty flavor—perfect for chili, refried beans, soups, and storage.

Pintos are also nitrogen-fixers, enriching your soil while producing a shelf-stable protein crop. Once pods dry down on the plant, simply harvest, shell, and store—no fancy equipment required.

Why You’ll Love Them:

  • Classic pinto bean flavor and color

  • Bush habit—no trellis required

  • Excellent for drying and long-term storage

  • Fixes nitrogen to improve your soil naturally

A must-have for serious gardeners, preppers, or anyone who loves homegrown pantry staples.

Growing Information

Beans should be planted in spring after the last frost has occurred. Beans will germinate best once soil temps have reached 65 F or higher. Optimal germination temperature is around 77 F. Seeds can require 8 to 16 days to germinate, depending on the soil temperature. For continual production, succession plant every couple of weeks throughout the spring and early summer. Plants will drop blooms or cease production in the heat of summer. Subsequent succession plantings may be made in late summer/fall, as long as enough time is permitted before the first frost date.

Direct seeding is recommended. Blue Lake Pole Bean can be easily planted with a walk-behind planter like our Hoss Garden Seeder. We suggest using the #6 plate and modifying the hole size to fit the variety being planted. Beans can be planted relatively thick along the row and thinned to the desired spacing. To maximize garden space, consider using double-row spacing. For double-row spacing, rows may be planted as close as 6″ apart with 3′ spacing between double rows. For single row spacing, 2′ to 3′ spacing is recommended.
