If you want to grow dry beans in your garden, it helps to know approximately how many to plant to harvest what you need.
With an extra 20-foot row in my garden, I planted pinto beans. Though they were supposed to be bush beans, they did climb my tomato trellis a bit.
After 80 days, they were ready to harvest, and I harvested both shell beans (those not completely dry) and dry beans. Here’s how much a 20-foot row of pinto beans, planted approximately 3-6 inches apart, yielded at harvest.

Pinto Beans and many other bean varieties are so easy to grow! Every person should grow and then simply dry the beans for long term storage.
Thank you for your videos.
Do you have any tips for tomatoes?
glad to see you back, again, Jill! more good tips and beautiful garden…

I was wondering if you dried the beans and if so, how long.
Gotta love bonus anything. Especially from the garden.

much easier to let them dry then shell and store them in a cool dry space,save the soaking time for right before you cook them
Your 2 minute video told me what 10 other 15 minute videos didn’t say. I wondered was it worth the ground space or would I be better off to plant something else. Thanks for showing yield vs space used
How can a person go about putting up dry beans for storage like you would buy in them in a bag in store instead of canning them?
Thank you wonderful lady. I'm eating chili beans for dinner tonight and I had no idea how pinto beans were harvested and dried. Now I know. Thank you
Hi can I ask how many plants you harvested to have that quantity? thanks
To me, while I totally get the convenience of heat and eat portions, the beauty of beans is they don't need canned for storage.
I'm going to have to plant a whole field of beans then.
The question I have is how much work you put in to get those six pints. How long did it take to pick and shell them?
Does anyone know if you can eat young pintos as green beans?
