Jack spends the spring and summer planting and
tending to his garden plot on campus—sun hat on his
head and watering can in hand. He grows everything
from peas, beans, onions, and sweet potatoes to beets,
cabbage, cauliflower, and a variety of colorful floral
blooms. However, his favorite thing to garden is the
Dr. Martin pole lima bean, which is an heirloom variety,
and apparently quite delicious! He gets the seeds from
the Landis Valley Farm Museum in Lancaster County.
