Christmas Landscaping

Kabob Sticks

While you might think that it is odd to classify kabob sticks or bamboo skewers as “garden tools”, I don’t think so!  I find them very helpful to give seedlings some support when transplanting.  In the spring time, the windy weather can really destroy your transplants. I usually use three kabob sticks to circle the […]
