Does a round-up spray on the 15 acres when things get growing and waits a couple weeks before planting. He takes a middle buster behind the tractor, cuts a rut, throws in seed and waits to see what grows. By harvest, it's typically overgrown in pig weed and whatever weeds get growing out there, but we always get tons of watermelon, pumpkin and whatever else gets thrown in there. As an experiment, he planted pinto beans. Went to the nursery, saw bean seeds were $5 for a cup of seeds, so went to Dollar General two blocks away and bought a pound of pinto beans for a buck. Every one of them germinated and are currently growing. So, we both have a question. Can pinto beans be picked in the pod and eaten like green beans, or is it best to wait until the pods dry and get dried pinto beans to eat?</blockquote>
