DIY garden signs

This seemed like a good idea.  I was looking for a more creative way to display what was planted in the garden so I wouldn’t have to use the little plastic tags that come with the vegetable plants.  I came across the idea to use popsicle sticks and small wooden signs on Food & Photography‘s […]
