Never tried them in the garden before and considering planting some and possibly kidney brand as well this coming spring. Can anyone give recommendations or insight on how they do in west TN.
Pinto beans

Red kidney did good in our garden a couple years ago. Tried some kind of pintos this year and all they did was make vines. May have been some kind of French kind.
My boy planted Jacobs Cattle.

Heirloom options: Cherokee Trail of Tears pole beans (gorgeous glossy black), Painted Pony bush beans (tan and cream). Both can be picked young to eat as snap beans, or left to dry on the vine for dried bean storage.
I like October beans too.

Love October beans, don't see seeds anywhere, may try the CC-OP.

Regarding OCT beans I bought a bushel from the local farm in stanley valley, hulled them and vac sealed 1lb to bag and in the freezer. They didnt last long we really liked them vs pinto bean.
