It is essential to keep the soil evenly moist, so keep a close eye on your plants in the summer for signs of withering, yellowing, or dry soil. For best results, water your plants in the morning. Be careful not to overwater the plants, as they are susceptible to root rot. To avoid this, you can plant rhubarb on a hillside or on raised beds. Because a rhubarb crop can take several years to become established, you might want to grow a couple of plants from a crown while your seeds grow, mature, and become harvestable. Areas that grow rhubarb annually tend to have severely hot summer temperatures. Make sure to harvest your rhubarb in the late spring before the heat has a chance to kill the crop.

summary: Water your plants regularly. Consider growing rhubarb from a crown while you wait. Harvest your annual rhubarb between March and May.

The size of the vegetable pieces, their variety and age, and your personal preference all dictate how long a vegetable should be cooked. Cooking several stir fries using your favorite vegetables will help you get a feel for how long each vegetable should stay in the wok. If you find a particular vegetable in the stir fry too crunchy, add it earlier next time. If a vegetable feels too soft or falls apart, add it later next time. Carrots, cauliflower, and broccoli are often the culprits, since they are hard and can be difficult to cut into small pieces. If these or other tough vegetables take too long, you have a couple options: Blanch them before frying. If your vegetable pieces are at least half an inch thick, steaming them for a short time will quickly make them softer. Always pat them dry before frying. Alternatively, add a small amount of water, broth, or dry sherry during the cooking. Cover for one to two minutes until the vegetables are tender, then continue stir frying as normal. You'll need to soak dried mushrooms for five to fifteen minutes or until tender before you can use them in a stir fry. Adding them dry will result in hard, chewy bits in your stir fry. To soak dried mushrooms, boil some water, then remove from heat and add the mushrooms. Remove them from the water once they're plump, after three to five minutes. Dried shiitake are harder than other varieties, so they may need to be soaked for up to 10 minutes. After the stir fry has been taken off the heat, you might want to add a flavorful decoration that doesn't require cooking in the wok or skillet. For that perfect final touch, here are a few good options: Sesame seeds or toasted nuts sprinkled over the stir fry add satisfying crunch. Parsley, basil, or other fresh herbs look attractive and add a pleasant scent. Sprinkle on a few thin slices of raw vegetables to add a brighter color and different consistency to the dish.

summary: Adjust the cooking time if a vegetable is too mushy or crunchy. Blanch or soak hard vegetables that take too long to cook. Soak dried mushrooms in hot water before using. Experiment with garnishes. Finished.

Platy fish are relatively easy to breed, and they don't require a lot of encouragement. As long as you introduced both male and female platy fish to the tank, they should start breeding in a short amount of time. If your platy fish don't seem to be breeding, make sure you have both male and female fish in the tank. Also, make sure your fish are healthy and that you're feeding and caring for them properly since unhealthy platy fish might not breed. Female platy fish will develop a dark spot on their abdomen when they're pregnant. Try to get in the habit of checking your female platy fish daily for these dark spots. Then, if you discover that one of them is pregnant, write down the date so you're able to keep track of how long it's been pregnant for. This is the average gestation period for platy fish. If you wrote down when you first noticed your platy fish was pregnant, the fry should be born about 24-30 days from that date. If you're not keeping track of when your female platy fish get pregnant, it can be hard to estimate when they're going to give birth. However, it will always be within 30 days of when you notice they're pregnant. Don't worry about doing anything special for your pregnant platy fish during their pregnancy or when they give birth. As long as you're feeding and caring for them properly, the pregnancy should go smoothly. once they're born if you're worried about them being eaten.

However, if you don't want any of the fry to be eaten, you may want to transfer them to a new tank or set up a breeding trap in the tank to keep them separated. You can move the mother to a separate tank before it gives birth, or you can separate the fry after. To move the fry, use a fishing net to scoop them out of the tank and transfer them to a new one. Depending on where the fry are hiding, you may need to scoop up a shelter or floating plant in order to catch them. Baby fish food usually consists of pulverized flakes that are easy for the small fry to eat. You should also supplement their diet with baby brine shrimp, similar to how you supplement your adult platy fishes' diet. Feed the fry in small amounts several times a day like you do with your adult platy fish. Since platy fish can quickly overpopulate an aquarium, it's important that you have a plan in place for what to do with the fry as they grow and mature. Platy fish fry reach sexual maturity at 4 months of age, so you'll either want to give them to someone else or move them to their own tank before they reach 4 months. Otherwise, your tank will quickly become overcrowded, and your fish will suffer and get sick. Consider selling your platy fish fry and turning it into a small side business. Or, you can give them to friends who are also aquarium enthusiasts.

Wait 24-30 days for pregnant platy fish to give birth. Separate the fry Feed the fry commercial baby fish food and baby brine shrimp. Sell or giveaway your platy fish as you breed them, or move them to a new tank.
