A garden grows at American Sardine Bar

"Hopefully people don't steal stuff and the animals don't eat it." That's Scott Schroeder, ladies and gentlemen, on the garden he and John Longacre have planned for the backyard of American Sardine Bar and 18th and Federal (check my CP review next week). The pic above is pre-Sardine, and a few raised beds have already been installed. "We put the beds in when we first opened in the winter, and they got ignored immediately," laughs Schroeder, whose green thumb itching to get growing this season. "I've been talking to my farmers about what I can grow here, and grow well." The plan for now includes tomatoes, chilies, lettuce, herbs and strawberries vining along the fence that's going up soon, all to be used at ASB and South Philly Tap Room (1509 Miffin St.). Once everything is copacetic with the city's outdoor seat enforcers, there'll be tables in the yard, as well; Schroeder's hoping for a beer garden vibe. We'll bring the ping-pong paddles.
