Problem: Write an article based on this summary: If possible, close off a space in your garden. Don't force her out. Allow her to walk around supervised for short periods.

Answer: When you are ready to introduce your cat to your back garden the same rule of gradual exposure applies. If you can, block off a small area of your garden to do this. Let her into this closed off area to be exposed to the sights and sounds of your garden. An enclosed space should be one where there is no chance of her getting out to a road or escaping over a fence into a neighbouring garden. When you take her out you should stay close to her and be attentive. If she doesn't want to go outside, then she is probably still adjusting to the new house and is not yet completely comfortable. The adjustment period can vary so don't force her outside, this will only stress her out more. Be patient and let her go at her own speed. Take her out into the garden for short periods and let her explore. Keep a close eye on her at all times, and take a toy and a couple of treats to help put her at ease. Start with short periods and gradually increase them as she becomes more accustomed. Begin with a few minutes at a time and go from there. Always ensure there is an easy route back into the house if she gets spooked or wants to dash back in. Leave a door wide open for her and don't block it off.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Crush the Oreo cookies into crumbs. Melt butter and add it to the crumbs. Press crust into a pie pan. Bake until set. Let cool before adding filling.

Answer: An easy way to do this is to simply pulse them in a food processor. You can also add the Oreos (or your preferred chocolate sandwich cookies) to a sturdy plastic bag, then smash them with a rolling pin or the bottom of a pan. Don't remove the white filling from the cookies before you crush them the recipe accounts for it. As noted above, you'll want to preheat the oven to 350 degrees F for this recipe. You want the crumbs to be quite fine for this recipe. No noticeable chunks of solid cookie should remain. If you're making a graham cracker crust, just pulse the graham crackers and sugar together to make fine crumbs. The rest of the recipe is the same. Butter helps the crumbs stick together while also giving the crust a richer taste and a more satisfying texture. Melt the butter in a separate bowl in the microwave, then pour it over the crumbs and stir with a fork to combine. If the crust isn't sticking to itself after mixing, feel free to melt more butter and add it in one tablespoon increments. You may need to do this if you used extra cookies. Spoon the crumb mixture into the center of a greased pie pan. Spread it around the bottom and sides of the pan. Use the edge of a measuring cup or glass to press the crust into the pan, spreading it evenly. Set the crust (without any filling) in the oven for about 5-7 minutes. After, take the crust out and check for firm, "done" texture. This is important the crust should be room temperature before you add the filling. If it's not, it can affect the texture of the filling. If you need, you can let it cool in the fridge to speed the process up. When the crust is cool, you can add the filling and proceed as normal, following the instructions above.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Make a self-watering planter. Finish the self-watering planter. Create hanging baskets. Finish the hanging basket. Make a plant container.

Answer: Take a two-liter bottle and poke small holes in the upper half. Then, cut the bottle in half, making sure all the holes are in the upper portion of the bottle. Poke a hole in the bottle top and thread a piece of felt or cotton fabric through the bottle top. Turn the top of the bottle upside down and place it in the bottom of the bottle. The fabric should be long enough to touch the bottom of the bottle and long enough to have some sticking up into the top. Add enough water to the bottom of the bottle for the fabric to get plenty wet. Fill the top with soil, making sure the fabric is in the soil. This will help set up the self-watering plant. You can make small or large hanging baskets from bottles, depending on the size of bottles or jugs you use. Start by removing the slanted top of the bottle or the part of the bottle with the handle. The hanger should be uniform and smooth all around, with no handles or sloping. Use something sharp to make holes in three to four places equidistant apart around the top edge of the planter. Using string or yarn, pull the yarn through the holes. Make sure to make a knot on the inside so the yarn or string doesn't slip through. When you finish, the yarn or string should be secure enough that the hanger doesn't fall. Tie the yarn or string together at the top. Place on a hook. You can paint the bottle before planting it to add a creative touch. Turn a two liter or 20 ounce bottle sideways. Cut the bottle in half. Use both halves to make two planters. Cut small drainage holes into the bottom. Fill with soil and plant flowers or herbs inside. You can paint the outside of the planters to decorate your garden.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Look for an organic hibiscus sabdariffa and locate the calyx. Pick the calyxes 24 to 48 hours after the flower has bloomed. Cut the seed pod away from the calyx. Dry the calyx using a dehydrator. Use the calyx to brew hibiscus tea. Use the calyx to make potpourri.

Answer:
There are many varieties of the hibiscus flower, but the hibiscus sabdariffa variety is the one that gives you the best flavor. The calyx is the green, trumpet-shaped part at the base of the flower, which will eventually turn red and brittle. The hibiscus must be pesticide-free if you are using it for tea. It does not have to be pesticide-free if you are using it for general crafts. You can try using this method for the actual flowers too, but you will need to adjust the drying time. Timing is everything here. Find hibiscus flowers that are in bloom, then wait for them to fall. Locate the red calyx, then pick it after 24 to 48 hours. This will ensure that it is ripe. The calyx should pop off of its stem easily. If you have to pull it off, it is not ripe yet. Try again the next day. Cut the calyx from the stem of the flower first. Next, cut a shallow slit down the length of the calyx. Pry open the calyx with your fingers, then pop the seed pod out. Try to keep the calyx intact. Don't throw the seed pods away! Allow the seed pods to dry for 1 week, then crack them open and plant the seeds. Preheat the dehydrator between 95 to 115F (35 to 46C). Spread the calyxes on the tray in a single layer. Allow the calyxes to dry completely before taking them out of the dehydrator. This will take about 1 to 4 hours. Each dehydrator is different, so follow the instructions on your model carefully. Pour 2 cups (475 milliliters) of hot water over 1 tablespoon (15 grams) of dried hibiscus calyxes. Allow the tea to steep for 10 minutes before removing the calyxes. Flavor the tea as desired with lemon juice, sugar, or honey. Serve the tea hot or iced. If you want a stronger tea, use more hibiscus calyxes and increase the brewing time. If hibiscus tea isn't for you, you can add the dehydrated calyx to homemade potpourri. You can try using it in homemade candles or soap as well, but it would be a good idea to crumble it up first so that it isn't as bulky. Alternatively, you can string whole calyxes onto thread and make a pretty garland for your room.
