Koinonia Grow – Fall Planting

After a full (and hot!) summer in the garden, we are looking forward to the season changing and have started our fall planting.

First of all, a huge thank you to Flint River Fresh for providing our community garden with fall transplants of lettuce, kale, broccoli, collard greens, and cabbage! The Grow Team had started over a thousand transplants for our fall garden but one tragic weekend pests devoured the majority of them. Flint River Fresh’s Fresh Start Giveaway really helped this farmer to keep growing.

Most of the pepper plants from the summer are gone but we still have a few left providing us with this colorful harvest.

The butterflies are loving the Mexican sunflowers we have planted next to the garden.

The Koinonia community grieves the loss of Mrs. Rosalynn Carter. We treasure every moment we were able to spend with her. She, President Carter, and the whole Carter family have been such good neighbors and friends to Koinonia. Mrs. Carter was a peacemaker who, through her work both close to home and further afield, always embodied “love through service to others.” We pray for her, her family, her friends, the City of Plains, and Sumter County. We grieve with them and yet rejoice in the example she has given to all of us and the world.
