Whew!! Just in the nick of time, I was looking at my 1500 year old beans and I wasn’t sure when to start pulling them off for shell beans....tomorrow is the day 🤗

[@OldAlabamaGardener]

Okay, Patti, explain the 1500 year old beans? C.

[@Lu-ys9cw]

The amazing native bean believed to have been found in a clay pot sealed with pitch in a cave in New Mexico. When carbon dated, the tests showed it to be 1500 years old! Long vines climb to 10’ and produce tasty pods. Beans are large and kidney-shaped, white with maroon mottling. A very rare collector’s bean. From Rare seeds. com. Baker creek.

[@Lu-ys9cw]

This was one review from rare seeds . Com. I bought them to try. I have not planted yet myself 😁. REVIEW - These did take a while to grow and I do think I put them in pretty late since I have to start a garden from raw land this year and it all took a while. They did not grow fast at first. I planted some buckwheat in front of them and that soon seemed to take over the beans. I kind of let it do its thing. I barely weeded, barely watered, just let them climb up and over a 4 foot fence and now in very late September am harvesting gallon after gallon of dried and nearly dried pods. The beans are beautiful and big but I have not cooked them up yet. Unless we dont'tlike the taste I am planting at least double next year.

[@pattihayden8100]

I live in Texas and do essentially the same thing, but a lot more easily. I run a top wire and I hang string with a large steel nut tied on the end that dangles right at ground level. This keeps the plant straight up and down and I only have to attend to them when they're just little bitty ones looking for a place to wrap around. I help them like you did and then just forget about things.

My adopted Grandpa, so happy to see another one of your videos. I've seen dried ones but canning keeps them moist with less cook time I imagine. Is that true? I love some pintos with cornbread and chow chow. The pot liquor is the best. I use T-posts also, and 100ft reusable clothesline and bailing twine because I have it on hand. My rows are 100ft. You've inspired me to try pintos next season. When we visited our Raleigh State Fair they had purple Hyacinth Bean. Must be decorative. Gorgeous! Keep your wonderful videos coming. You're the best!

[@OldAlabamaGardener]

Hello Farmgirl, Yes, canned pinto beans (I will make a video soon on me canning these beans) do stay moist and because they are pressure canned are ready to eat right out of the jar. I also save and store dry pinto beans. My rows are about 75 feet long. Thank you for watching my videos. OAG

[@jefflebowski918]

Many native American tribes grew beans and corn together, that way the corn supports the bean vines and the beans would fix the nitrogen in the soil. When you eat beans with grain it makes a complete protein.

[@OldAlabamaGardener]

Yes, it's my understanding that is what they did. I don't eat corn, so no need to grow it. OAG

How would u “dry” the pintos to bag up? Like store bought in a bag? I want to dry them for later use. Is that what u mean when u say “canning”? Dry can? I’ve never done that....

[@OldAlabamaGardener]

I leave them on the vine until the outer hull dries, then pick them and bring in the house to continue drying. Then I shell them out and let them dry another week, then put them in the freezer for one month. then bag them up. I will be making a video on this. OAG

How many times do you plant the pinto beans in a year?

I plant one time, because I have enough room to, at one time grow all I need . If you have a small space, you could grow more than one time if you are in zone 7 or warmer. OAG

[@Servants_Heart]

OldAlabamaGardener, I am in zone 8. I am thinking I can pull off 2 plantings. I will be researching how to dry the beans for Long term. I am a beginner pressure canner. You make cornbread the same way my grandpa did. Thanks

[@OldAlabamaGardener]

@@Servants_Heart Zone 8, I believe you could get 3 plantings with some tricks. For planting number 1, I would start my plants in the house and transplant out when the weather warmed up enough. 2d planting could be direct sow, and the third planting direct sow but timed it to produce before first frost in the autumn. As to pressure canning. pinto beans at the shell out stage are what you would want for canning. For dry beans, leave them on the vines until they get dry enough to crack and easily come out of the shell. OAG
