Article: If you notice shoots that look limp and are not growing flowers, trim them down immediately. Use pruning shears to cut the stems at their halfway point. This should leave at least 2 inches (5.1cm) of stem from the base of the plant. Do not remove any remaining leaves on the stem. During your weekly check, you can remove more than half of a limp stem if it looks unhealthy. Use pruning shears to cut away as much of the damaged stem as possible. Make sure that at least 2 inches (5.1cm) of it remains above the surface of the soil. You can cut down your plants regularly, regardless of whether stems are damaged or not, to promote greater growth. Each trimmed stem will branch out and give 3 or 4 new blooms within 2-3 days. Remove the bulk of the stems, leaving at least 2 inches (5.1cm) to regrow. This is an effective way to remove deadheads if you have too many plants to pinch off individual deadheads one at a time. After pruning your petunia plants, water the soil just enough so it is damp. Spray a 10-10-10 solution or all-purpose fertilizer into the soil around the plants. Applying 1-2 sprays around each plant should be sufficient to fertilize the soil and encourage regrowth within a week. A 10-10-10 solution contains 3 main nutrients- nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. Do not apply too much fertilizer, as it can be harmful to your plants in large doses. Use fertilizer no more than once a week.

Cut sinking stems to half of their length to encourage regrowth. Trim limp stems down to 2 inches (5.1cm) from the base if they are damaged. Cut down a third of your plants every other week, if you have a large crop. Add an all-purpose fertilizer to moist soil to encourage regrowth.
Article: Divide the 1kg dough into 10 balls for large rolls, or 13-15 balls for dinner rolls. Pick up one end in your thumb and fingers and wrap the other end around your fingers, going away from you. The dough end should now be tucked underneath the loop to form a simple knot. This is similar to tying a knot in a balloon. You may also roll the dough thinner, and tie a double knot, reef knot or any other form such as a pretzel which is also attractive. Another variation is to pick up the dough "sausage" in the middle and then twist the two halves around each other like you would make string or twine, then tuck the exposed ends underneath to make a round knot shape. You may dip in seeds or grains as per the Baguette method. Place them directly on the baking tray to proof, or on a floured cloth from which you can later transfer to a hot stone. Proof until doubled in size. Also splash the oven with water if you desire a crisp crust. The rolls should be golden and hollow when tapped.

Prepare the portions. Roll each ball into little baguettes about 15cm / 6 inches long. Decorate as desired. Bake for 10-15 minutes.
Article: Almost any dremel or router bit will cut through wood. A table router can be set to cut to a constant depth for ease of use, and is recommended for signs and other simple wood engravings. Always wear eye protection when using a rotary tool. There are many different bits, or burs, which you can attach to the end of your power tool to achieve different types of cuts. A few of the most common include bull nose bits for hollow surfaces; cylinder bits for flat surfaces; and the teardrop-shaped flame bits to give you fine control over the angle. When engraving wood, the level of detail is only limited by the width of your carving tool, and the precision of your hands. If you aren't comfortable drawing freehand onto the wood, print a pattern on a thin polyester film such as Mylar, and tape it over the wood. Turn on the power tool and gently lower it into the wood. Move it slowly and steadily across the entire design. It takes surprisingly little depth to achieve a three-dimensional appearance, so try starting with a shallow groove, then going over it a second time if you're unsatisfied. . If you'd like to make the engraving stand out more, try painting the cut area. Paint the original, flat surface a different color to make it stand out. Paint, or a transparent wood finish, will also help protect your wood from wear and tear.
