Is it feasable? I love them much better than green beans.
Growing pinto beans

Pinto beans are members of the same family as all beans: Phaseolus vulgaris. Pinto beans are medium in size and oval-shaped, usually having darker spots on the beige bean. They are good beans to grow if you live in a hot, arid area because they are drought tolerant. Pinto beans are dry beans and usually give higher yields than their green cousins give and you can harvest them fresh or dried. Growing pinto beans will not be that difficult providing you following the planting requirements and needs of the plant.
Wait until the weather warms and all signs of frost have left your area. It is best to plant pinto beans when the temperature have reached at least 60 degrees. Pinto beans are warm weather crops.

I read on another gardening forum that you can use regular dried beans from the grocery store. Germination is a bit lower than "seed grade" beans but they are cheap enough that you can over seed a bit and then thin the plants.
We are going to try this with small redbeans (kidneys) this year for making cajun food. !
