Gardeners in warm climates will want to stick to mulch because it helps conserve moisture and protects the plants' roots from hot temperatures. These plants benefit from an addition of slow release granular fertilizer, such as Osmocote, or organic varieties, like those made with fish meal or alfalfa. However, if one has leafy green plants and no peppers, gardeners should probably cut back on the nitrogen fertilizer. This element is known for producing lush, fruitless plants. Almost all bell peppers start off green and eventually ripen to the desired color in about two weeks, though some types can take as long as a month for the right color to develop. Tall varieties may need to be staked to support the fruit and keep the plants from falling over while the fruit grows and ripens. Wire cages wrapped with plastic were mentioned in Mother Earth News article the author read as a good way to insulate tomato seedlings against sudden drops in temperature. Another way to prevent seedling from getting too cold is to use bell jars (hot caps). These devices were originally made from glass but now are more likely to be made from leftover plastic milk or soda bottles. Pepper seeds can be saved for up to two years under ideal conditions. This means that growers will not have to purchase seed annually if they store the leftovers in a dark, dry location to keep them from sprouting prematurely. Once the first chill of winter sets in, gardeners can harvest the remaining fruit and then dig the plants up. Specimens that are not diseased are good candidates for the compost bin. Diseased plants can be bagged up and left with the trash to prevent the disease from spreading.

SUMMARY: Use black plastic or mulch to control weeds. Fertilize the bell pepper plants. Wait for the bell peppers to ripen before picking. Protect the bell pepper plant from sudden drops in temperature. Save the pepper seeds for future planting. Get rid of used plants.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Staring is a habit, and like any other habit, it can be broken. With a conscious effort, you can start having more meaningful and respectful interactions with girls. Practice not looking, and soon you won't. When you're with a girl, notice when you look, and remind yourself to look away. If you're about to see someone you find attractive, remind yourself not to stare at her. Listen intently to what she's saying to you and come up with meaningful responses and questions to ask her. Let the conversation distract you from wanting to look at her body. For example, if you're having a conversation about movies, think of a movie you've seen recently and tell her about it. Tell her what you liked and didn't like about it, and answer any questions she has for you. She would probably feel uncomfortable and avoid talking to you in the future. She might say something to you about it and cause a scene in front of other people. However she responds, you'll probably lose out on a meaningful relationship and feel ashamed. Keep these things in mind whenever you feel tempted to stare at a girl's chest. Think about how she is an individual with complex feelings. If you're having trouble viewing her as a person, try thinking about what her friends and family are like, or what kind of things she might like to do for fun. This will help you relate to her as a person.

SUMMARY: Practice breaking the habit of staring. Focus your mind on the conversation you're having. Think about the consequences if she catches you staring. Tell yourself that the girl you're talking to is a person, not an object.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Cooler months during the springtime and fall are the best to time to pick cilantro from your garden. Cilantro plants will not grow properly in warmer weather as the heat causes them to seed. Harvest cilantro early and often to encourage it to keep growing. Once cilantro plants start to flower and produce coriander seeds, they can no longer be harvested. These seeds can be dried and used as coriander in recipes, though. Generally only the outer leaves of the plant should be removed, leaving the inner leaves to continue to grow A cilantro plant should produce new foliage appropriate for harvesting approximately every week for the duration of its blooming. Using sharp scissors or garden shears, cut the largest leafy stems of your cilantro plants just above the ground. Stems of fully grown cilantro plants are generally between 6 inches (15cm) and 12 inches (30cm) tall. Do not cut any stems that are smaller than 6 inches (15cm). To make sure that cilantro plants retain their strength, trim no more than 1/3 of their mass when you harvest the herb. Losing any more of their structure would weaken the plants and possibly stunt their growth. Assess each plant visually and count the number of large stems growing from them before deciding how many to remove. To store large amount of cilantro leaves and stems, wash them and dry them thoroughly. Lay them flat and place them in a thin layer in a resealable freezer bag or airtight freezer safe container. Freeze cilantro and keep it for up to a year. To use frozen cilantro, simply break off as much as you need and put the rest back in the freezer. If you are cooking with cilantro, use it straight from frozen in your recipe. To use the cilantro as a garnish, let it thaw in the fridge for 2-3 hours. Another way of preserving cilantro is to dry it out. Tie clusters of full cilantro stems together with twist-ties and hang them in a warm, dry room. Leave them there for several days until they are completely dried out. Once the stems are dry, you can remove the leaves and crumble them into a small spice jar. You can also dry out cilantro leaves by placing them on a baking tray and heating them in the oven at the lowest possible temperature for 30 minutes.

SUMMARY: Harvest cilantro often throughout the spring and fall. Cut stems near the ground level. Harvest no more than 1/3 of each plant. Freeze cilantro leaves and stems. Dry cilantro.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: This may be easier said than done, but here are some tips: A line. If you see a line on the graph that extends to infinity, then all versions of x will be covered eventually, so the domain is equal to all real numbers. A normal parabola. If you see a parabola that is facing upwards or downwards, then yes, the domain will be all real numbers, because all numbers on the x-axis will eventually be covered. A sideways parabola. Now, if you have a parabola with a vertex at (4,0) which extends infinitely to the right, then your domain is D = [4,) Just state the domain based on the type of graph you're working with. If you're uncertain and know the equation of the line, plug the x-coordinates back into the function to check.

SUMMARY:
Look at the graph. Check out the x-values that are included in the graph. State the domain.
