We have been doing that whenever there is a blossom -- but there are
only a few of them, and so far none have started a fruit.

Another possible explanation can be that inside our apartment is not hot
enough for them. I recently read that the Campari want at least 85F
before they will fruit. We don't keep our apartment that high.

I used fresh basil and fresh spinach - would recommend only one next
time.
In large bowl combine the drained and well rinsed beans, rice,
tomatoes,celery. Add chopped spinach or basil. Pour dressing over
mixture and toss to coat.
Cover and refrigerate for one hour.
Just before serving, sprinkle with cheese.

Very nice - I would add more tomatoes and more feta. Perhaps even
some greek sliced olives as well.
Will do again.
