Q: You could set up an inexpensive irrigation system to do a smaller, daily watering as well. .. usually once a year just before foliage emerges is best.
A: Water the bush by filling the berm/basin once a week and allowing it to percolate down into the bush's roots. Fertilize as recommended on the plant tag.

Q: Generally, you want to plant the sisters about 4-6 weeks after the last frost. For most places, this will be in May. To learn the frost dates in your area, contact a local weather service or extension office. You can also consult an almanac. Fill a bowl with water and sprinkle the seeds into it. Soak about 5-7 seeds for every mound that you plan to plant. Do not soak the seeds for more than 8 hours, or they may rot. Each seed should be evenly spaced about 6 inches apart. Stick the seeds down to a depth of about 11.5 inches (2.53.8cm). Cover them with soil afterwards. Water until the soil is damp. Afterwards, continue to water the mound about 1 inch (2.5cm) of water a week. This is roughly .6 gallons (2.3l; 0.50impgal) per square foot. Keep 3 or 4 seedlings. Choose the larger and stronger seedlings while weeding out the smaller seedings. The seedlings should now be about 812 inches (2030cm) apart.
A: Start planting the corn in late spring. Soak the corn for seeds for 4-6 hours before planting. Plant 5-7 seeds in each mound. Water the mound thoroughly after planting. Thin the seedlings once they are 34 inches (7.610.2cm) tall.

Q: If you find acquiring local foods too difficult in your area or if you have foods that you struggle to give up, try taking a more flexible approach. Opt to buy local food from within your specific radius whenever you get the chance, but if there is food that you want that isn't produced locally, simply pick the best option. You don't have to be a strict locavore to still make a positive difference in your community and for the environment. Look for foods that are as close to being local as possible or to support companies that use at least some local ingredients. Locally produced foods like jams, pickles, and jellies can be good options if you're a flexible locavore. A big part of becoming a locavore is deciding what it means to you and where to set your limits. The radius, or the maximum distance you will accept between your home and your food sources, extends in all directions from your location. If you want to hold yourself to stricter locavore standards, aim to get all of your food from within this area. Many locavores decide on a radius of 50mi (80km), 100mi (160km), or 150mi (240km). Explore the food options that are available at each different limits before you pick one. The smaller the radius that you choose, the more limited your options for food will be. However, this also means that you will be more likely to have a smaller carbon footprint and to support farmers in closer proximity to you. The climate of where you live determines what foods are available. This means that there will be some restrictions, which can be difficult while you're adjusting to the lifestyle. Generally, locavores end up forgoing foods such as coffee, chocolate, olive oil, bananas, salt, spices, beer, and wheat, as these foods are only grown in very specific climates. Making the most of and enjoying local, seasonal foods is a great way to distract yourself from any foods that you miss. If you find yourself getting bored or frustrated with the food restrictions, try looking for new recipes or combining different ingredients to make new flavors.
A: Choose foods from the closest available source if you want to be a flexible locavore. Investigate which foods are available at set distances from your home to set firmer limits. Be prepared to make sacrifices if you're a strict locavore.

Q: Line up plastic Solo cups along each side of a rectangular table so that each side has the same number of cups. There are two teams in flip cup: one on each side of the table. Players take turn drinking the beer in their cup, then flipping the empty cup on the edge of the table until it lands perfectly upside down on the tabletop. Play flip cup with three or more people on each team 6+ total. The more flippers on each team, the longer the game will be. Pour each players drink of choice into his or her cup. If no one objects, simply fill each up 1/4 to halfway up with beer. You can adjust the volume of beer to match the amount that each person wants to drink. Keep in mind, however, that the game will be most fair if everyone has to drink the same amount. If you're going to play multiple rounds of flip cup, consider playing with beer or another relatively low-alcohol beverage. Flip cup is a fast-paced game, and it can be dangerous to play with liquor. If you don't drink alcohol, fill your cups with another beverage of choice. For an easier game, fill the cups with something that you like drinking. For a more difficult game, fill the cups with something that's harder to drink, such as hot sauce. Find your partner and "match up." When each person's cup is equally filled, he or she looks across the table to find someone to "match with." The teams should be equal, and each person should be standing directly across from someone on the other team. Make sure that everyone knows which direction the flipping will go. This game is a relay race, and each round of flip cup always begins at one end of the table and ends at the other end. Each player should know which two players are starting the round, and which two players are the "anchors" at the end.
A:
Arrange the cups. Fill the cups. Line up on either side of the table.
