Supports for Pole Plants

Just like my bush seedlings, I like to give my pole/vining seedlings some support.  The main pole plants that I have growing on my cattle fencing trellis are peas, beans, tomatoes and winter squash.

Vining tomato plant surrounded by kabob supports.

My top two supports for pole seedlings and plants are:  1) I use 3 kabob sticks around the seedling to protect them from garden wildlife and high winds and to help the seedlings grow towards the trellis.  2) Also, I use gardeners ribbon to help the tendrils grab on to the trellis.
