Marshall Green of Cafe Estelle (444 N. Fourth St.) is the latest chef to flex his green thumb on restaurant property. (Remember when Lynn Rinaldi and Corey Baver of Paradiso and Izumi hooked their roof up a month ago?) Green is an especially auspicious position, since his pops, David, owns Primex Garden Center in Glenside; father and son installed a 25-foot-long, 5-foot-wide raised bed along the kitchen side of Estelle's building. Soil goes in "Monday or Tuesday,” with planting to follow. Green is hoping it's not too late to get some fruit off pepper and tomato starters, and wants to trellis the concrete wall for peas and beans. "I've got a fig tree in my yard at home, too," he says. "That’s definitely coming over."
