article: The garter stitch is one of the easiest stitches to do, and is commonly the first stitch learned by novice knitters. This technique allows you to knit every row, and the material tends to lie flat during the knitting process. Garter stitch is characterized by ridges on both sides of the material in between rows of bumpy fabric. Decide on the yarn and needles you would like to use. When you're first starting to knit, larger needles and thicker yarn will make learning easier. Try size 8, 14" long knitting needles. If you have smaller needles and yarn, try to make loose stitches that allow plenty of room to maneuver. Knitters can work Continental-style or English-style. Try out both as you learn to knit, and evaluate what works best for you. These instructions are for English-style knitting, but they can be easily adapted for Continental style.

article: Foods like watermelon, cucumber, lettuce, and broths contain a lot of water and relatively few calories. If you eat these foods before your main meal, they may satisfy you enough to prevent you from overeating. You can also try drinking water shortly before your meal. Sometimes your body mistakes thirst for hunger. You may feel hungry if your body is craving nutrients, so it's important to see your doctor regularly and get periodic lab work to check for deficiencies. If you do have a vitamin deficiency, take the recommended supplements every day. If you never allow yourself to enjoy food, you're more likely to give up on your healthy habits altogether. The key is to allow yourself to indulge in small amounts of the foods you crave every so often. Instead of eating until you can't possibly eat any more, try to be more mindful and put the fork down as soon as you stop feeling hungry. Make sure you don't eat too fast, or you might not realize that you have had enough. It's also important to make sure you are actually hungry before you start eating. Try to recognize if you are eating for emotional reasons, or just because you're bored. Once you recognize it, try to replace your snacking with a healthier alternative. Going for a walk can be a great distraction! Try to always be conscious of how much you are eating. Instead of eating your snack out of the bag and losing track of how much you've consumed, place an appropriate portion on a plate and then put the bag away.

article:
Once the seedlings have established themselves, then the plants out so that there are 2 feet (0.61m) between them. If you are growing the plants in containers or otherwise want the plants to remain short and stunted, it is possible to leave only 8 to 12 inches (20 to 30 cm) between each seedling. Wait until the stems of the seedlings have already developed two sets of leaves before thinning them out. Keep the healthiest, strongest looking plants and remove the weakest. Four o'clock flowers are somewhat drought-resistant, but the should not be allowed to remain dry for more than a day or two. Try to give the plants at least 1 inch (2.5 cm) of water weekly, either by rainfall or hand watering with a hose or watering can. Note that flowers grown in a container will require more regular waterings than those grown outdoors. Choose a water-soluble, all-purpose floral fertilizer and apply it before a rainfall or when you water the plants. Choose a balanced 10-10-10 fertilizer, which contains equal parts nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. This type of fertilizer will promote an overall even state of health for the plant. Four o'clock flowers rarely have problems with insects and diseases, so pre-treatment for such conditions is highly discouraged. If problems do develop, treat the plants with an appropriate pesticide or fungicide. The product can either be organic or chemical. Each bush should grow a large tuber below ground. If you live in mild climates, you should be able to leave this tuber in the ground without causing damage to the plant. If you live in notably cold climates, however, you should dig it up in the late fall. Store the tubers in between layers of newspaper in cardboard boxes or wooden crates. You can also store the tubers in peat moss or sand. Do not use plastic containers or other closed boxes, since these can encourage the tubers to rot. Place the tubers in a garage, shed, or similar environment. They should remain dry and dark throughout the winter. Replant the tubers in the spring. Dig a hole large enough for the tuber in the same location it once grew. Place the tuber back in the ground, cover with soil, and care for the plant as before. If you do not want to dig up the tuber, you can usually protect it over the winter by covering the planting area with 1 or 2 inches (2.5 or 5 cm) of organic mulch. Organic mulch can include leaves, grass clippings, wood chips, and newspaper. The mulch provides insulation and keeps the soil a little warmer. Note that in notably cold climates, mulch may not be enough to protect the tuber over the winter. If you are growing the plants in containers, it is also recommended that you spread mulch on top of the container during the spring or summer to help reduce the amount of water evaporation that takes place. This can help prevent the soil from drying out too severely.
