Problem: Article: If the soil is too dry, it will soak up all of the water that is in the bottle. If the soil is dry, water it now. A wine bottle will be ideal, because it will be large enough to water 4 to 6 square feet (0.38 to 0.56 square meters) for up to 3 days. If you don't need to water such a large area, you can use a smaller bottle, such as a soda or beer bottle. Alternatively, you can also use a store-bought watering globe or aqua globe. Don't fill it all the way; just up to where the neck starts will be plenty. At this time, you can also add additional items, such as liquid fertilizers. Use your thumb to plug the hole in the mouth of the bottle when you flip it over. Position the bottle right next to the plant you need to be watered. As you're pushing the neck into the soil, move your thumb out of the way. Make sure that the bottle's neck is several inches in the soil. It's okay if the bottle leans to the side, but it should be sturdy and secure. If the water is not draining at all, the soil might be clogging the bottle. If this happens, take the bottle out of the soil, clean it, and glue a piece of screening over the mouth. Refill the bottle, and insert it into the soil again. Draw a line on the bottle with a permanent marker, right at the water level. Check back after a few hours (or even a whole day). If the water level is below the line you drew, the water is draining properly. If the water level has not changed, something might be blocking it.
Summary: Make sure that the soil is completely saturated. Get a glass bottle with a narrow neck. Fill the bottle with water, place your thumb it, and turn it upside down. Push the bottle neck into the soil. Make sure that the water is draining properly.

Problem: Article: When you squeeze it, a ripe apricot should indent slightly beneath your fingers, but it should not be overly soft. You can also smell near the fruit's stem, since a ripe apricot will have a sweet scent. Although the color of the fruit will depend on the variety, a ripe apricot should be uniform with no green patches. Avoid fruit with large bruises, as these will be mushy and have no flavor. This rinse will help to remove any bacteria from the fruit. Rinse the apricots under cool running water and pat dry. Washing the apricots before you boil them keeps contaminants from cooking into the fruit. Bring a large stockpot of water to a boil, then drop the apricots into the water for between 30 seconds and 1 minute. This keeps the skins from becoming tough during the freezing process. Do not overcook the apricots, especially if you are planning on freezing the fruit while it is fresh. If you are peeling the apricots, you don't have to blanch them. However, it does make removing the peels easier. If you are freezing a large quantity of apricots, you may want to blanch them in smaller batches, depending on the size of your stock pot. After the apricots have boiled for 30-60 seconds, use a slotted spoon to remove the apricots from the boiling water. Plunge them into ice-cold water right away to immediately stop the cooking process, then drain them and pat them dry. If you blanched the apricots, or if they are especially ripe, you should be able to easily remove the skins with your fingers. Otherwise, you can use a sharp paring knife to peel the fruit. If you're pureeing the apricots, you will need to remove the skins. Use a small paring knife to slice through the fruit, sliding it around the pit. Twist the halves of the apricot to separate it, then use your fingers or a spoon to scoop out the pit. If you're freezing the apricots fresh, you can leave them in halves, or you can cut them into quarters or slices if you prefer.
Summary:
Choose fruit that is fully ripe but still firm. Wash the apricots with a mixture of 3 parts water and 1 part vinegar. Blanch the apricots in boiling water if you are leaving the peels on. Dip the apricots in ice-cold water after you blanch them, then drain and dry. Peel the apricots unless you plan to leave the skins on. Slice the apricots in half and remove the pits.
