Make Your Own Garden Plant Stakes
I'm not a big gardener but a few herbs started from seed puts me in the Spring-time mood.
In my yard were hundreds of broken branches from the very long winter.

After reading a past issue of Martha Stewart Living Magazine, I finally had a good use for these sticks.
I started out by breaking off a handful of sticks, all about the same length.

I gathered the tools needed for this project.

Using permanent marker, I wrote the names of the plant on each stick.
A spritz of spray Poly will keep the letters from fading in the sun.
Stick the stakes in the soil and you're ready to grow!
