Charlene Sprague has reincarnate her love for gardening .

" I have been gardening since I was 6 but only became passionate about it when my girls started in school and I had a little time to myself .   I have raised layer veg gardens as well as perennials / trees / shrubs to frame and soften the credit line of our home ( which I contrive BTW and my sweetheart and I created … this is what we do for our client too ) .   We live on a tidal piece of dimension in Milbridge , Maine which can be take exception .   The granite of the raised beds helps to warm the soil to make up for the lack of heat due to being on the ocean .
