Does anyone here know anything about Campari tomaotes? I bought some from H.E.B. recently and they taste as good as garden grown! I have seen where people on the internet say they have grown their own from the seed; I suppose that is legal if you don't intend to sell? Campari is a trademarked name.

And has anyone grown any Anasazi beans? I bought some yesterday and found the story behind them to be so interesting! The girl at the fruit stand said her mom made some and they were better than pintos. I just got them because they looked so different.

Hoping to set up a rain barrel and drip system soon so I don't have to hand water everything. I had some squash & cucumbers that were wilting down during the day and so put a milk jug full of water with a tiny hole in one corner next to each and then sprayed each one with Garrett juice and now they are starting to flourish. But a drip system that I could put the compost tea in? THAT would be awesome!

Campari Tomatoes sustain me through the off season here in Benderville. I buy mine at Costco...

The only thing that I know about Camparis is that they are about as good as hothouse tomatoes get. Like Mr. Bender, those get Mr. JADB and I through the winter, as well as some grape tomatoes that Sam's Club sells in 3 lb. packages. I believe it was last year that one member of our gardening members did save some campari seeds and grew them and was satisfied with the results.

Now, anasazi beans is something that I know a little about. I buy a 10 lb. bag every year when we go to Colorado. I do like them better than dried pinto beans, but not better than fresh pinto beans. I use anasazi beans in my chili bean mix also.

That was a very good idea with the milk jug. I'll have to remember that one!
