These were bag beana from the store. I tried both the wet papertowel method and the jar method. These are all from the jar. The papertowel method worked okay for lentils and black beans but I had no results for pinto beans.
I tried burying them in the potting mix at varying depths, the furthest from the camera being the most buried and the closest being placed ontop of the soil with no dirt on top. All of them have sprouted and rooted but the ones not buried did so the quickest and are the biggest now. The one exception in the back was uncovered to check the status of it and after being uncovered grew significantly faster than it's siblings.
Hope this helps!

Once you are ready to plant them out, dig a hole in the ground, about the same size as the planter they are in right now, pull the soil out of the planter when it is fairly dry, and put it in that hole without disturbing the roots.
Beans don’t like to be transplanted,
so that’s the best way of planting them out without making them mad..
