3...2...1...Blastoff!

Tomorrow we leave for New Zealand! This trip is sure to be full of adventure. We fly out of Madison at 3pm and arrive in Christchurch sometime on Saturday (after crossing the date line). We're hoping to post updates and pictures of what we're doing every few days. In the meantime, here are some final pictures of our produce from this summer.

Kohlrabi, a golden tomato, and Sugar Ann snap peas. Our kohlrabi harvest was fantastic (there are still a bunch in the fridge).

Various carrot varieties (most of our carrots are still in the garden under a layer of leaf mulch).

My giant zinnias. I got the seeds from Erin's baby shower and planted them in the completely dry, sandy soil that is right against our porch. Somehow they decided they would grow anyway. I'm definitely planting zinnias again next year!

Our pies at the recent Fab 5 pie party. I made a pumpkin pie from a whole pumpkin (that's a pumpkin cutout on top) and Adam made a chocolate mousse pie. Good thing i talked him out of attempting the sugar penguins, because he won the "Most Creative" award anyway. Unfortunately, several of the pie party attendees don't like pumpkin pie because my pie lost. :( I thought it was good!
