Terry cultivated the pinto beans for the last time this growing season. The pinto beans are starting to shoot feelers (tendrils). This will cause the rows to grow shut. The little plants are also blooming; soon bean pods will appear and then fill with the tasty little beans.

I wonder if when we buy pinto beans…which we do quite often..if they come from your farm.

I’m curious……have you ever used them “fresh”? I’ve only every seen them dried or canned. I tend to buy romano beans or cranberry beans to cook instead of the pinto’s.

How I love all your photos of the fields, the primitive rock paintings, hills, streams and agricultural information. I read your blog faithfully every evening before bed time.
Thank you.

I went shopping today for your “Pinto Beans” – not to be found in supermarkets of Brisbane.
I was disgusted. Some of the customers that I spoke to were not available to assist me in my endeavours.
They all were well aware of “pinto beans”, but none of us had a clue where and in what section we would find them.
The check-out person also was of no help. Are they ever any help?????
So please in future, have your beans in either cans or packages, clearly marked: “Pinto Beans” from the farmers of
Colorado, USA, – “The Terrill and Linda Beans ” – approved by the USA Agriculture Department on the labels.
I want to try “pinto beans” in a mince dish. I have the mince, frozen of course, awaiting the “pintos”.
Having watched on your fantastic blog of these lovely beans being grown and cultured – I want to have
these “beautiful” beans here!
Now get with it and promote your beans.
Cheers

I am very surprised they don’t need a trellis type system.
Hooray for pinto beans!

What I´m always amazed at, is how fast everything grows up north. It seems you just started planting, and now they are almost ready for harvest. I guess it´s the great weather!

Happy Friday Linda, I love seeing the photos of your spread-thank you again and again for growing food to feed us-I know it is hard work and you probably don’t hear enough appreciation for providing us with healthy food. We are baking up here-been in the 90’s all week, but I’ll take it over rain.
Hugs to you today!
