Jack, pictured below, comes to our place a couple of times a week to tend to the garden. Jack is in his 70’s, he’s an Italian immigrant, he’s delightful and he has the greenest thumbs we’ve ever seen. Each visit he brings us veggies from his own garden, all grown naturally with the tender, loving care of his green thumbs. Jack really loves his garden and his veggies taste amazing.
