The House That Jacques Buiilt

This is the house that Jacques built arounf 1847 along with the canal. Now his great grandson lives in it but he's also getting on. He's as wide as he's tall, smokes long thin cigars but knows about growing vegetables and given have a chance he'll show you around his plot and into the cellar where his tomatoes are ripening.

He can tell you when everying was planted and picked, the same with his haricot vertes. He's so very attached to it all that I doubt he will eat them but judging by his girth something is going down. I could learn a thing or two from Jacques' great grandson.
