Notes
'Pinto Beans' bean (Phaseolus vulgaris 'Pinto Beans') is a climbing vegetable for the food garden. It is typically grown as an annual. Frost will kill it, so set it out only after the last frost in spring. This plant likes full sun and average to moist soil of most types. It grows fast and can reach about 71 inches tall, so give it a trellis or poles to climb.
Pairs well with Popcorn shoot, Celeriac, and Giant of Italy parsley.
