- I wanted to show you how I grew Pinto Beans from a pack of dry beans that I purchased from the store. Hopefully this can inspire you to try it out yourself if you never have! Let’s grow together!

my grandfather lived in the desert in mexico basically survived on growing pinto beans and raising chickens for eggs and meat ,, he would trade for flour as well , but that was it and he lived to be in his 90's ... my father always told me that his dad always told him pinto beans or really most any similar beans were a type of super food that if need be will keep one alive on it and it alone ,, ''beans and water'' he would say
I absolutely agree with this. Beans should be considered more of a super food but sadly they are not by many. Pinto beans and the like can store for years, and is a good source of protein, fiber and minerals. It will definitely keep you alive
@@eatthecanvas Should they be dry canned to preserve them?
@@new_frontiersman9064 I suppose that could be an option but if you produce a lot of beans that could take up a lot of space and canning jars verses using oxygen absorbers and a Mylar bags in 5 gallon buckets. But depending on your situation and future use of those items, either works and cans are great if just using smaller portions at a time
@@new_frontiersman9064 but I also know of some perspectives against dry canning so there are always things to consider
@@new_frontiersman9064 Dried beans in a 5 gallon bucket are better IMO in terms of longevity. Larger volumes seems to equalize any residual moisture better. I have a freeze drier so I actually cook my beans and make a complete meal, then freeze dry it and put it in bags to make instant just add water meals. Freeze driers are expensive but if you are serious about gardening or you cook your own meals a lot, its an invaluable tool.
As a bonus, you can eat the leaves of bean plants and sweet potatoes. Pick just one or two from each plant so you don't slow the growth, but you can get lots of leaves from a bed of plants. Steam them like spinach, eat them raw in a salad, dehydrate them and make them into green powder to add to smoothies and sauces for extra nutrition.
Multiple uses!
It's like okra; the leaves are delicious cooked. Haven't tried them raw
@@Anne--Marie ohh alright I have not tried that yet
Wow...how cool.
What?! Nice! Gotta try that once, my bean plants grow up!👍
I sprouted a couple pinto beans with my granddaughter as a science project and they grew so well that I’ve now planted them in good soil and they’re growing really well on my patio, which has inspired me to grow several types of other vegetables. I’m now growing some tomatoes, zucchini, cucumbers, carrots and lavender. Everything is in very early stages but I love it and can’t wait to harvest!
Ayyyyeee that’s beautiful! It will be a path of many amazing lessons
"You can do this! I believe in you!" 😄 Off to plant me some pinto beans in my pajamas!
Yesss Dooo ittt!
Love it. You are right, people are disconnected from their food. If I may suggest, don't add nitrogen. Beans produce their own nitrogen. If you supply the plant nitrogen, it won't develop that much beans, it would focus more on leaves. I love planting beans. You can put it in almost any soil, it grows. When you remove the plant, cut it at the base
The roots have all the nitrogen saved, it would become great worm food and feed a different plant with the stored nitrogen. Thanks for this video bud. Great job.
Thanks for watching and yes I have definitely learned this since making this video lol. Pretty much keep all my roots in the ground.
Awesome. I have subscribed. Looking forward to more of your videos. You have a gŕeat talent for this.
Beans only add nitrogen to the soil if you chop and drop without harvesting. This is because most of the nitrogen produced is fixed in the bean. Small amounts is fixed by soil borne bacteria but not much. Don't add nitrogen to beans as you said, however don't expect legumes to restore depleted soil.
Truth be told though, it takes years to actually deplete soil and a lot of it is instantly restored when you add homemade fertilizer like kitchen scrap liquid, so really no one will see a difference either way on the home scale.
This is the best pinto bean video I've ever seen.....answered alot of questions in one video and showed different stages of growth..very good.
Thank you!
That’s a cool idea planting in the cinder block. 1lb of beans for $2 is as cheap as seeds can get. All good tips. Thank you!
That is very true!
That trick of planting the beans in the hollow of a cinder block is awesome. Thanks for showing us that.
Glad you found value in watching!
@@eatthecanvas This is super realistic, thank you. Not everyone has fancy environments
I have survived in dire poverty on pintos and rice, plus cornbread; always hit sauce too! Throw in an apple a day and you are good.
I have heard someone else mention the same too!
This is my first year planting any sort of beans, I’m so excited to harvest. I just love gardening! It makes me feel more connected to God. He has made such a simple and beautiful process for us to enjoy with our own eyes. How one bean can grow into many! Or a tiny tomato seed turning into a sprawling vine full of fruit, with some water and some time. ❤
All of it is definitely a beautiful design and it still amazes me all the time. I can plant 1 seed and in turn get back hundreds or even thousands of seeds. They were made to produce abundantly.
God created man to tend the garden and shepherd his creatures. It is our telose. I hope your first year went well. I'm sure you'll learn just as much this second year
I don't know why I never thought about growing pinto beans, even though we eat them all the time. I'm going to try in 2023!
Yes definitely! Easy to grow as well!
You've got my passion, man. I love how emotional and poetic you are talking about growing food. kudos. kudos.
I'm just sitting here watching bean harvesting videos patiently waiting for my own plants to reach harvest. There's something so satisfying about seeing your hand in that bowl of beans. Well done!
I am late to respond but thanks for watching! I was doing the same thing and it never gets old to me when my hands interact with what I have grown
Thankyou -you give me hope. God is awesome. He takes care of his children ❤️
Definitely does!
I'm starting my pinto beans today! I got a bag from Kroger and let them soak all day...time to plant! Thank you for the inspiration, sir! 🪴🌱🌿🌾
Love it! ✊🏼
Good luck ! 👍🏻🇬🇧💙
Bamboo is so dang prolific I'd be afraid even that dried out stick might take root. Then you're in a pickle. LOL
Love the idea of growing the beans in blocks 👍🏾
Yea it was easy to manage for me and a space saver
You're doing a great jOb. If I were still teaching in the inner cities I would show this video!
Thank you and appreciate that!
You're an excellent teacher.
Thank you
Love this I am saving seeds from everything I eat that has them and they are growing. I just looked at my package of pinto beans and said time to grow some of them. thank you for your video.
Nice! Yes I have been saving more seeds from what I have been eating and doing the same!
Take a milk jug or a water jug cut the bottom off, push it down in the ground a little bit over your seed it'll be like a little Greenhouse. plant gets big enough and you can pull the jug up. They do have solar powered smaller-sized electrical fences now too.
You did great with this and along the way you brought up very good points. People are so disconnected from their food that they have no idea about how to go about it anymore. I subscribed to you and will be following your progress. Welcome to TH-cam.
This is amazing, and thank you for making it.
Awesome. Thank you my 6 yo. planted beans in a plastic bag in Sunday school and now we are off to plant them outside. They are already about 2-3 inches, I hope we didn't wait to long. Thank you for the info and inspiration.
Nice! They should still be fine when you put them in the ground also!
How'd they do?
I love your video. So calm and peaceful. It's nice to appreciate the food we eat.
Hey there 👋🏼 I just found your channel and am really enjoying it. Thanks for teaching people that we’re surrounded by potential garden seed every time we go to the store.
Well I appreciate you being here and glad that you can find value in what I share! I love learning more and more about growing.
I'm germinating a variety of store bought dried beans now. The plan is to grow them with corn and sunflowers so they can climb up the stem of the larger plant
Great video, lovely to see a young man growing something ❤️
Thank you ✊🏼
Nice! Gonna plant my own now.
Awesome video Ty!! Blessings!!🙏
Woohoo! Let's get to it. I'm ready to start the beans!
Thank you so much I’m using pinto beans for my science fair project
Thank you so much for sharing. This is so cool!😀😍 from Chicago Southland
Glad you found value in it!
Thanks for the great tutorial and inspiration. I'm planning to cook some pinto beans tomorrow. Now I'm gonna keep some to plant in my vegetable garden.
Hi Cynthia! Yes, let me know how it goes! I feel like majority of the store bought pinto beans are vining varieties so if you have something it can climb up that would be great.
I love the analogy that you used to explain the canvas.
From a place of passion.
Nice I enjoy your work great video & thanks for sharing 👍GOD BLESS
Beautiful! I like doing this too. My last grow was with black beans. They have a beautiful purple flower and the pods turn purple too.
Ah I haven’t tried growing black beans as of yet. I have to do that next.
Awesome video. I will try it using cinder blocks. Thanks for sharing. ❤
Thank you and bless you for time and energy to bring this wholesome message 🙏🙂❤
Appreciate you
Great video! It always amazes me that one little seed can produce so many fruit. Thank you for sharing :)
Right! It truly is amazing how it all multiplies. Thank you for watching and for your kind words.
I just found your channel and subscribed because you have a kind way of sharing your knowledge.
Appreciate you ✊🏼
Thank you for the instruction Brother... I like your idea of using cinderblock as planters for raised beds.
✊🏼It’s definitely been helpful for me
Hello from Melbourne, Australia. Good to watch this as I just bought fresh Pinto beans from a green grocer. I got at least 3 times as many as I would if bought the beans from a seed shop. It was good to see how high they grow.
When I see a special or unusual vegetable I want to grow, I buy it, say a white capsicum (bell pepper), purple potatoes, New Zealand Yams, specialty tomatoes and it’s great to see what they will look like. So many people throw outs seeds like pumpkin seeds that can also be roasted and others that can be regrown from the base. Vegetables really are the “GIFT” that keeps on giving.
New to your channel 😁 I really enjoyed this video it was very informative!
Thank you for simple explanation
Great video 💯🤙🏻
Keep on painting 🎨 ☘️
Always!
Thanks
Awesome. I’m going to try this now. Thanks
Nice! Let me know how it goes.
Hey! If you ended up trying it out, how did it work for you?
Great video brother!
Appreciate it!
I've been thinking this for years! All though I have experimented with 🍅 and 🌶️ seeds, I let people talk me out of other things.. no one could give me a good reason why I needed to buy seeds.... thank you! Love your cinder block idea!
There are seeds all around us lol and if there was ever a time we couldn’t access buying seeds, but we could still get tomatoes, peppers, beans, lemons and others from the store, well…we have our seeds. Sure I buy seeds for the sake of variety and aim to go the less intentionally genetically modified route, but if I just wanted to produce food without it, I could and we all can.
I just bought cut mint from the store and stuck some of the stems in water. They now have roots and I will be planted them in pots soon.
I'm a new sub-based solely on your channel title. I love it. Right on!
Appreciate you!
I loved this. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you for a great and 'simple' video on how to paint our own canvases. By the way, your presentation somehow reminded me of the late, great, Bob Ross.
Glad you found value in it! I had to look up who that was as I have never heard of him. His videos are definitely relaxing to watch.
Amazing results.
It’s beautiful
I'm definitely trying this!
Yes do it!
I've started them and now they're in the pots growing👏👏👏👏👏👏🤣love growing veggies
Nice! And likewise!
Wonderful!!!
By, the way...your video was the first one that popped up after I searched for growing store bought beans for growing 💗
Oh…well that’s a first lol
Thank you sir :)
Good 4 you bro. I just found your channel and subbed.
Appreciate it!
I suddenly got an urge to get into gardening and started looking at video on how to grow my own food ❤️ I loved your video and will be subbing, God bless 🙏🏻
That’s a great urge to have in my view! Appreciate you ✊🏼
Do it, they say there's another pandemic coming in two years. I did not enjoying not having food
I live in Central Florida and planted pinto beans from the grocery early in June, when the rain became more frequent. The plants are beautiful with a lot of flowers, but NO beans! I have a bell pepper plant that is increasing in it's fruit bearing, so it's not a lack of pollinators. When it doesn't rain, I water it. I have added banana peel to feed the plants. My only thought as to why I'm not getting any beans is that these may be GMO , therefore sterile. I'd appreciate any/all suggestions!
I love that. Thank you
right on! You inspired me to do this.
Great! It should go well for you!
Amen man thank you for the great wisdom
Great video and
Can't wait to do this!!
Drop em in the dirt!
@@eatthecanvas I did yesterday, I also did bell peppers and an onion ! 💛 Thank you for the inspiration!
That is so awesome.
Agreed!
every year i grow multiple crops of multiple kinds of beans -- ALL of which are grown from dry bean seeds bought at the grocery store . MUNG beans and BLACK EYED beans grow easily and wonderfully . PINTO beans do ok too . ALWAYS buy dry bean seeds at your grovery store ! PLANT them , instead of cooking them .
Yes!
You’re a great guy, nice to see someone speak the truth for a change, truth in your gardening and truth about God. Keep it rolling bro.
Appreciate you!
Great video! You might like to try cooking some of your beans that haven’t dried yet. They are delicious when simmered in salt water. The texture is awesome plus they cook up in a short amount of time.
Thank you! I will definitely look to do that when I plant more soon!
Headed out to garden planting pinto beans, thx for update 👍🎰🏁
I might be planting them again soon!
@@eatthecanvashow long does it take from seed to harvest?
@@mycabinlife1291 from my recollection i would say around 2-2.5 months. I know for sure it wasn’t beyond 3 months for me.
@@eatthecanvas thanks!
@@eatthecanvas I'm in Florida right now I'm not at the cabin so I think I have time to do some before the first Frost.
Very informative ♡
✊🏼 glad it was of value to you.
Great info
Thanks for watching!
I do remember when my grandson was learning to count; we used beans...later planted one and watched it grow. It late died and that was the end of our project 🙄😏Now I am container gardening and I want to try the bean one more time. Thanks for the reminder 😃❤️❤️❤️
I am definitely for doing it again! I actually haven’t tried beans in a container yet so now that will be something I plan on getting started 👍🏼
Good one Bro.
Appreciate you ✊🏼
Thank you for this ..
✊🏼
Definitely going to do this. Probably today as a matter of fact. Thanks
Yes! Do it!
@@eatthecanvas We are doing it!!! Looking good so far!
Great advice, thank you. I dont cut my vines off at the top, if you leave them they grow even longer and wind back round going down the stick , then cut them off. As long as you feed them well you will grow even more beans
If I had stronger sticks, definitely lol. It was already getting a little flimsy in the wind with just going up but that makes sense 👍🏼👍🏼
@@eatthecanvas i use old broom handles , they are really strong. Just found your channel and it's really good. From the UK
@@w.dossett3332 that makes sense! Since making this video I always keep thicker sticks and such around
Just planted bean seed in a cup day 3 is today I will keep you posted on how it turns out
I did the same thing. But I was eating then as green beans.
Yep, that def works too lol
Omgdness! Ty so much!
Nice.
it works too! I do it
I pick them when yellow and beans are swollen inside pods...before they start drying. Shuck them and fill qt. ziplock freezer bags and freeze. Taste is smooth and creamy, totally different from dried beans.
That sounds like a great idea, thanks!
Bro your legend for that sender block pot
Nawww no legend lol. Saw it before and I thought…well that makes sense!
Wow very inspiring. I've tried planting various seeds in grow bags, however the squirrels won't let me be great and always dig up the seeds and starter plants. I got discouraged after a couple re-attempts but I still want to grow some things for myself.
Ahhh squirrels lol. It would be a little extra work but you could put some nets over them 🤷🏽♂️
"I believe in you. Moreso, I believe in the seed." Funny and true. 😀
Definitely true lol
They taste wonderful if cooked fresh too
So I have heard! Gotta try that soon!
Solid video.
I am expanding my bean repertoire this year (zone 6b, Cleveland Ohio) and was researching pinto beans to see if they vine or bush. It's our main source of protein and i usually grow heirlooms that I''ve saved but and going to try some store boughten types this year.
Also, what zone are you in?
Interesting...in cinder blocks...with trellis, certainly increases the harvest. I tried this heavily seeded & crammed in allowing for pests & varmits; better your way.
Ohhh I see. Yea I was just trying to maximize my growth and considered using the cinderblocks since they were already there. Currently I have them growing up old fencing that I found planted about 3 inches apart
I’m gonna do that. Where do you get organic beans? Great video. Thank you.
Hey and I got those organic Pinto Beans from a big chain grocery store called Publix. I was just seeing if they would grow and now I have a whole jar of them from what grew that I dried and will plant again later or eat. Thank you for watching!
Can be eaten as green beans if harvested early enough. So you can eat soon and later. Plant many many many. TFS
Agreed on the “Plant many” ✊🏼
Pintos make great green beans, Italian style beans.
So I’ve heard! I have to try them like that next time!
This inspired me so much! I’m definitely going to try it! Any suggestions regarding time of year to plant them or how much sun they need? I’m in a climate that has all 4 seasons.
Sheesh forgive my lateness lol. I am glad to hear that! I think anytime where you have a good 3 months of warm non freezing weather you should be good. Mine were in direct sunlight majority of the day or atleast until about 3pm and that was good enough for them
@@eatthecanvas Thank you for your reply! No worries on your slightly delayed response…you’ve got plants to tend to:) Lol! Appreciate you!
And appreciate your understanding lol ✊🏼
I was 13 yrs old when I started gardening I got seeds from farm store one time planted them got seed from my plants from then on never bot seeds again
Apologies for my late response but thank you for sharing this. It's one of the things that I love about growing food. I never have to buy seeds again for so many things and that's how it's meant to be!
Very good son....who knew. My best :)
I love it! How long do the beans take to dry for replanting?
Apologies for my delayed response! After the shell on the bean gets that papery dry feel, honestly they should be good then and I have put some straight in the ground like that with success. Normally I bring them inside and put them on the counter for a few days and then plant them out. If I am saving them, I might leave them on the counter for 2-3 weeks before I store them just to be safe to make sure all the moisture is out of them
Thanks! When did you start planting them?
I can’t remember for those but I live in south Florida so I am able to plant them at any time. As long as they have a good 3ish months of no frost they should grow well!
Never knew this, so amazing...starting my own now. Thanks for sharing and giving God the glory:) May He bless you richly
It is definitely amazing. Yes let me know how it goes if you remember and thank you!
Maybe "he" is a "she". or a "them"? Stay safe and take care.
