Article: Use a knife or garlic press to mince the garlic. Move the onion to a cutting board and use a sharp knife to dice it finely into small cubes. Transfer the minced onion and garlic to a large saucepan. You can use red pepper flakes in place of the cayenne, or a fresh hot pepper if you like, such as a jalapeño or habanero. When using a fresh pepper, mince it finely before adding it to the pot. For additional pesticide properties, add three to four fresh or dried mint leaves to the saucepan as well. Mint works as a repellent for ladybugs and other beetles. Put the lid on the saucepan. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. When the water is boiling, lower the heat to medium and continue simmering for an additional 15 minutes. Then, remove the pan from the heat and set it aside. With the lid on, allow the garlic, onion, and cayenne mixture to cool for at least 12 hours, and up to 24. This will give the sulfur and oils from the vegetables time to infuse into the water. Pour the cooled mixture into a cheesecloth-lined strainer that’s positioned over a bowl. This will remove the solid pieces of garlic, onion, and pepper, and leave nothing but a sprayable liquid behind. Use a funnel to prevent spills when you pour the mixture from the bowl into the clean spray bottle. Use as necessary in the garden to eliminate pests and animals that are feasting on your leaves. In the refrigerator, this mixture will last for about a week.

Problem: Article: The kimono is an essential part of a geisha’s outfit. A kimono is a traditional robe cut straight and long, and fairly stiff so that it keeps its shape. Kimonos come in many styles, so pick one that fits your personal style and preferences. In general, geishas wear simple and elegant kimonos, and stay away from loud and lavishly decorated ones. Take the kimono put it on as you would put on a robe, slipping your hands through the sleeves.  The kimono may be too long for you. If it is, pull up the right and left sides of the kimono until the bottom is grazing the floor. Then, tie a cord around your waist over the extra fabric. This will keep the kimono elevated off the ground. The cord will be covered, so don’t worry if it doesn’t go with your kimono. An obi, or sash, is a wide, stiff cloth that is used as a belt for the kimono. After putting on your kimono, put on the obi, making sure to tie it in the back. Obi can be heavily patterned, so make sure to wear one that doesn’t clash with the kimono. Geishas tie their obi in the back, as opposed to courtesans, who tie it in the front. For shoes, geishas wear sandals. Maiko, the apprentice geishas, wear heavy platformed sandals usually made of wood called okobo. These can be difficult to walk in, so you may prefer the flat sandals worn by geishas. Though not a strictly necessary part of the geisha outfit, you may choose to carry fans. Hand fans are used not only as cooling fans by geisha, but they also are used as props in traditional dances that are part of a geisha’s performance. Common colors used in Japanese fans are red and gold, and they often have some ornamentation like flowers or subtle geometric designs. Geishas typically use two fans in their dances.
Summary: Choose a kimono. Put on the kimono. Wear an obi. Pick out sandals. Carry fans.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Ensure that your oven will be at the right temperature when you’re ready to bake by preheating it to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (177 degrees Celsius). Next, check that the oven rack is the middle position so the brownies will bake evenly. Make sure that you know how your oven indicates that it’s reached the preheated temperature. In most cases, there will be a beep or a light will flash to let you know that it’s reached the proper temperature. Find a 8-inch by 8-inch (approximately 20-cm by 20-cm) baking pan to bake your brownies in, and line the bottom with a sheet of parchment paper. Allow the paper to hang over two sides of the pan. That will make it easier to get the brownies out of the pan when they’re done baking.  You can use a 9-inch by 9-inch (23-cm by 23-cm) pan for the brownies, but don’t go any larger than that. You’ll likely wind up with brownies that are thin and overcooked. If you don’t have parchment paper, you can line the pan with foil instead. While the parchment paper will cover the bottom of the pan, you want to make sure that the brownies don’t stick to the sides. Use some softened butter to grease the sides of the pan that aren’t covered by the paper.  You can use non-stick cooking spray instead of butter if you prefer. If you don’t have parchment paper or foil on hand, you can also butter the entire baking pan, including the bottom and sides, to keep the brownies from sticking.

SUMMARY: Preheat the oven and check the rack’s position. Line a pan with parchment paper. Butter the sides of the pan.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Strawberries are the most common kind of fruits grown in pots on patios and decks, but there are other options. Dwarf apple, orange and peach trees can also be grown in containers, as well as blueberry and raspberry bushes.  Some hybrids and cultivars of fruit trees and bushes are self-pollinating but, for best results, you should grow two fruit trees or bushes that are pollen-compatible. The greenhouse or nursery should be able to help you select compatible trees and bushes. Strawberries can be grown in a variety of containers, including containers called strawberry pots that are specially designed for them. They can also be grown in window boxes, long rectangular containers that sit on the ground, hanging baskets, vertical stacking containers or just in small- or medium-sized pots that sit on a table. Dwarf fruit trees, blueberry bushes and raspberry bushes require large, deep containers that sit on the ground. These fruit trees are commonly sold “bare root,” which is simply the plant without soil or a container, or in 5- to 10-gallon containers.  “Bare root” trees and shrubs can be started in 5- to 10-gallon containers but, as they grow, both container-grown and bare-root bushes and trees will have to be transplanted into larger 25- to 30-gallon pots. Nearly any type of container can be used, as long as it has several drain holes in the bottom. Fruit trees and bushes should be potted up with soil-based potting soil rather than soil from the garden.  Soil from the garden tends to contain insects and diseases and will likely not drain well enough for container-grown plants. The plant, tree or bush should be planted or transplanted no deeper than it was growing previously.
Summary: Choose what type of fruit to grow. Choose a suitable container for strawberry bushes. Grow other types of fruit in large, deep containers. Use potting soil for planting the fruit plants.

If you don’t have a burlap bag, you can use an old pillowcase. Fill the bag or case with compost, then close up the open end. In order to allow the nutrients to leach from the compost and into the water, allow the bag to steep for two to three days. You’ll be able to tell it is ready when the water is the color of tea.
