Edible landscaping: Farming the yard (copy)

BLACKSBURG — Ben Corl and Julie Burger didn’t plan to raise half their annual consumption of greens and root vegetables when they planted two modest vegetable beds in their yard 11 years ago. They had no master plan to cover three-fourths of their Draper Road, Blacksburg lot with edibles and flowers, but as their enthusiasm grew, their lawn dwindled. “We never intended to have a lot of lawn. We always wanted lots of plants. When we crave a new plant and don’t have room, we get rid of more lawn,” Burger said. Now their home is a showpiece for home gardening, yielding everything from spinach to peanuts to winter wheat, ringed by a swath of colorful flowers that draw pollinating insects.

Bethany Beach announces photo contest winners

Evan Calvert s photograph of a snowy shoreline earned him a prize in Bethany Beach s calendar photography contest of 2021. The Town of Bethany Beach recently announced winners for the 2021 photo contest. Out of 430 entries from amateur and professional photographers, 53 images were selected as semi-finalists, 18 of which will make it into the Town’s 2022 calendar. “We’ve been running this annual contest since 2013,” said Julie Malewski, events director for Bethany Beach. “We wanted to change it up this year, so we asked our social media followers to weigh in on the results.” Using the hashtag #BethanyBeachPhotoContest2021, the 18 photo finalists were posted on Instagram, prompting followers to “like” their favorites. The top three photos with the most likes were then posted on Facebook for a cross-section of votes. The average of those votes, along with staff input, determined the winner.
