Healthy soil and sustainable growing

[Debbie Mcdonald <belynor@sbcglobal.net>]

I didn't see Genovese in Baker Creeks catalogue. Where do you get them? 
I ate some of the most delightful tomatoes this summer at a farm an hour east 
of here. They were, I think, green and yellow striped? and I imagine would be 
called a grape tomatoe. Do any of you think you might know of these and where 
to get the seeds. She is all organic so it would have been organic seed I 
imagine. 
I have the Charontais melons seed s but did not get any garden space ready in 
time for this last year so I still have them. I'm in TX, north so any advice 
for growing them? 
I bought the books Edible Forest Gardens? two volumes but they are still 
packed. I have alot of woods, big mature trees not dense small ones and there 
are a few areas with springs so any ideas as to crops that might work in 
partial sun to mottled to full shade would be very appreciated.
