Outdoors: Direct-seed once all risk of frost has passed and the soil is warm. Planting into cold soil will result in seeds rotting. Pinto beans do not transplant well from starter pots, so direct seeding is much preferred.

Plants to Avoid: All members of the allium family (onions, leeks, garlic, scallions) and Kohlrabi inhibit growth in beans. Sunflowers will compete for light.
Pest/Disease Issues: Aphids can be washed off plants with a hard stream of water.
Harvesting: Younger beans can be harvested as a snap bean, and enjoyed fresh. Otherwise, harvest at maturity.
Suitability for Indoors: Not suited for indoors.
