INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Always remember, measure twice, cut once. You only get one chance at cutting before you make a mistake and discover that you have to make another trip back to the hardware store. And they will immediately know why you are there. Cut the longer pieces first, then use remaining pieces for the shorter sides or to create braces. If you can apply a sealant or paint before final assembly, do so. The purpose is to coat the wood, and so why not make sure that it is properly covered before screwing all of these joints together forever? Though there are devices that will allow your to drill the screws directly into the lumber, doing so can stress the wood and cause splits near the end. It is also easier to maintain control when drilling guide holes than it is to screw directly into the wood, especially when using hard woods. Use a screwdriver bit with your drill to attach the ends of the window box to the bottom using rust-proof screws. Be sure to support the wood against something sturdy or have someone hold the lumber while you are screwing the pieces together. Place the front and back sections onto the bottom section to make sure that all of the pieces are cut to fit (the ends should all be flush with each other) before attaching the front and back pieces of the window box. Screw the front and back pieces to the bottom and sides of the window box. You'll need several holes in the bottom of the window box to allow water to drain out of the window box. Let the sealant or paint dry completely before final installation. This will prevent the soil from rotting the wood. Use them to cover the drainage holes to keep the soil from coming out of the bottom of the window box. Drill holes into the exterior wall where you're going to hang your window box. Additionally, if you have left lumber to serve as a separate brace, drill holes for that as well. Attach the brace first, then the window box, screwing them in tightly but without damaging the wood. When screwing the window box to the brackets from the bottom of the window box, use screws that are slightly shorter than the thickness of the bottom of the window box. Your project is complete.

SUMMARY: Measure and mark the pieces of lumber for cutting. Use your saw to cut the lumber to desired lengths. Sand and, if applicable, seal or paint the lumber before assembly. Drill guide or pilot holes into the lumber where you plan to screw the pieces of lumber together. Assemble the box. Drill drainage holes. If appropriate, apply additional sealant or paint as needed. Insert a plastic window box liner. Cut small pieces of weed cloth. Install the window box. Add soil and flowers, plants, and/or herbs.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Your pepper plants may not survive if you move them from the protected inside to harsh, all-day sunlight. Spend a couple more weeks setting them outside in indirect sunlight for brief periods during the day. It may be best to choose hours in the morning or late afternoon, rather than during the hottest hours. Over the course of the 2 weeks, leave them out for a little bit longer each day. On the last day you do this, leave the plant out for about 8 hours. Avoid leaving young peppers out overnight until they are fully hardened off after a few weeks of increasing the time they spend outside. This is not really an exact amount, but not every plant or garden is the same. If you make the hole about the size of three good shovelfuls, you'll have room to add some sand and compost, as well as put the plant in. Dig 1 hole at a time and follow the next steps. Then you can judge if the hole was big enough for your plant or if you need to make the following ones bigger. Since peppers started out in tropical climates, they thrive in sandy soil. Put 1 shovelful of sand into the hole, followed by 1 shovelful of compost or manure. Level the sand and compost out and pack them down just a bit. After the sand and compost are in the hole, gently pull the pepper plant from the pot. Place it into the hole carefully so that it stands up straight. Ideally, the top of the soil that's attached to the plant should be about 1 inch (2.5cm) below the top of the hole. Use the extra dirt from when you dug the holes to fill in around the plants. Pack the soil down nice and tight so it is pressed against the roots and soil that was on the roots. As the pepper plants continue to grow, they will spread their leaves out. Because of this, it's important to plant them far enough apart for them to expand. Each row needs to be far enough from the one next to it so the plants can expand on both sides and give you room to walk through. You'll want about 1 foot (0.30m) of walking room between the rows, so be sure to leave enough room. It's better to put them farther apart rather than too close. Check recommendations for the specific variety of pepper that you are planting. Some benefit from closer spacing. Soak the soil all around the plants so the soil from the plants combines with what you added around the roots. There's a danger of overwatering, so pay attention that the ground doesn't become soggy. Transfer the soil moisture meter to your garden.

SUMMARY: Place the plants outside in indirect sunlight for a few hours a day. Dig a hole for each plant that's about 3 shovelfuls deep. Pour some sand and compost or manure in the planting hole. Set the plant into the hole. Fill the hole around the plant's roots. Bury the pepper plants 18 to 24in (46 to 61cm) apart in the same row. Make the rows 24 to 36 inches (61 to 91cm) apart. Give the plants a thorough watering.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Emoji is a non-standard set of characters, and is not supported by all systems.
