  1. @randude1 store foods are sprayed with growth inhibitor so they won't sprout in the store

  2. @randude1 I don't know what spray the other guy is talking about, but I've done it before. Buy a small bag and give it a go

  3. @Vajrasiddha you can buy a bag of pinto beans from the store for less then $3 just make sure there like unbleached and all that good stuff. just put the beans in a bag with some moisture

  4. so I can go downstairs in my kitchen and get a bag of pinto beans out and plant them and they will grow??? what about after you turn them to sprouts..can you plant them like that too?? also, I noticed your growing in a container…can they be grown outside??

  5. That doesn't even make sense. Beans won't just randomly sprout in the package. lol Anyway, I have attempted to grow dozens of different seeds from the store, and most of them sprouted. Then it's just a matter of whether you can provide adequate conditions for them to grow. I think that crap about growth inhibitors is just propaganda from the seed industry. :oP

  6. This informative tool is very useful for the preparation on growing your own pinto beans. The procedures and methods are well presented and I am pretty sure that it could really help homeowners and gardeners. You did a great job!
