BLACKSBURG â
Ben Corl and Julie Burger didnât 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.
âWe never intended to have a lot of lawn. We always wanted lots of plants. When we crave a new plant and donât have room, we get rid of more lawn,â 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.
