What you might find from Gidget's Garden at the Golden Hill Farmer's Market

Some of you may be wondering what we will be bringing to the market, now that we know our certificate to sell, is on the way. We sometimes ask ourselves that too, but with the bounty of fruits, vegetables, and herbs that we have ripening in the garden right now, I am becoming less concerned.
