An inexpensive way to get a lot of bean seed, is to plant 15 bean soup mix that the grocery stores sell.

$10.00 is a donation. $1,000 is an investment, $1,000,000 is a purchase.

The semi-runner habit can be handy in the garden, if you are prepared for it. It gives the potential for a higher yield than a straight bush bean, but less labor than setting tall poles and trellis. Tomato cages--which aren't up to the weight of an indeterminate tomato vine--might be a useful self-supporting low trellis. Most pinto strains I know of are semi-runners, and the Beefy Resilient Grex is too.

Ha, I just last evening, found some of Carol's Beefy Resilient that I had forgotten I had. It's a mix up of all the colors, definitely gonna put them in the ground this year! Especially since you say they too have the semi-runner habit.
