Created with Our Own Hands

By Kim Charles

Jill Beringer and her handy hubby have transform their property in Delaware over the line of 27 years .

" I am a gardener in Hockessin , De . When we built this house back in 1990 , it was at the edge of a former gymnastic horse pasture and had exactly two trees . We put my children ’s sandbox under one of them for the little shade it provided . Twenty seven years later , I have more than enough nicety and have been tardily direct over the yard- i.e. former association football and lacrosse practice field- for my garden . We live in a development on about a half Akka , with a hedge row along one side of my pie - shaped lot . It ’s rather soaked so I have to find things that can take the wet and compete with red maple root . We are in the process of adding a stone sitting area under the biggest maple with a path that lead around below the deck which my married man built . We are doing it ourselves though it ’s like doing a puzzle but with REALLY , REALLY hard puzzle pieces . He also create the trellis one yr for my birthday . Love deliver a ready to hand hubby ! Still a employment in progress ! ( Not the husband- the garden :) ! "
