• Discussion Fanatics

    The eye of the bean should be facing downward, planted at a depth of 1-½ inch, 4-6 inches apart with at least 2 feet between rows when growing pinto beans. Water the seeds in well and keep moist. Germination should occur between 8-14 days provided temperatures are between 70-80 degrees F.


  • The pinto bean seeds wont germinate until the soil temperature reaches about 60 degrees Fahrenheit. Pinto beans also cant tolerate frost, so only plant when all frost danger has passed. Plant the seeds 1 inch deep. Pinto beans dont require any supports because they dont grow as vines.

    Furthermore, how much water do pinto beans need? Pinto beans should receive an average of 1 inch (2.5 cm) of water per week. Withholding water is especially important once the bean pods begin maturing since doing so can help the beans dry on the plant.

    Herein, where do pinto beans grow best?

    Native to Mexico, pintos take about 90-150 days to grow as a dry bean but can be harvested earlier and eaten as a green snap bean. They come in both determinate (bush) and indeterminate (pole) varieties. They require very little care, although they need more space between plants than other bean types.

    How many pinto beans will one plant produce?

    16 pounds of return per pound would mean that each plant will produce only 16 beans while pintos are prolific and should easily produce 120 beans per plant under normal conditions. Although 60 per ounce would be on the heavy end of the pinto bean scale, well use that for a base figure.
