In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Fill the jar with lukewarm water. Cover the top of the jar with muslin or cheesecloth. Secure it in place using a rubber band or tightly tied twine. Absolutely do not cover the jar with the solid lid. Leave the jar in a warm place, overnight. The lentils must soak for at least 8 hours. Your hot water cupboard or in the kitchen near to where to cooking is happening can make nice warm places to encourage germination. Pour off the water the next day. Leave the muslin cover in place while pouring (this keeps the lentils in there). Turn the jar upside down and drain well. The easiest way to do this is to sit it in a colander or similar kitchen tool.
Summary: Place the lentils into a large, clean jar. Cover the jar. Soak the lentils. Drain the lentils.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Put your jeans through a standard drying cycle using the hottest heat setting possible. The high heat should cause the fibers of the wet fabric to constrict. Air drying the jeans will not have the same effect. If the area does not shrink as much as you would like, apply more of your fabric softener solution and dry it again.
Summary: Throw your jeans in the dryer. Repeat as needed.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Small plants require smaller holes to be planted in, which will cause less stress to the tree above them. Aim to buy plants with coin-sized bulbs that you can tuck in between the tree's roots. If you want to create a bold effect, plant many small plants instead of fewer big plants, choosing from options like: Siberian irises, violet-colored flowers with delicate petals Japanese ferns, small plants with silvery-green leaves Columbines, small plants with colorful bell-shaped flowers Japanese forest grasses, elegant clumps of grass with small blooms The area beneath large, mature trees will not get much sun, which narrows down your options for planting. Be sure to select hardy plants and flowers that thrive in the shade. These might include: Common columbine, or Aquilegia vulgaris, white flowers with green tips. White campions, or Silene fimbriata, delicate white flowers with pink tips. Lungworts, or Pulmonaria, red or blue flowers with leaves with silver markings. Hart's tongue fern, or Asplenium scolopendrium, a fern with tongue-shaped leaves. Wood anemone, or Anemone nemorosa, plants with white, pink, or blue blooms. Most flowers don't bloom year round, meaning that there may be a lack of color and texture under your tree through most of the year. To compensate for this, choose some leafy plants with different colors and shapes of foliage to create visual appeal all year long. Some examples include: Ruscus aculeatus (also known as butcher's broom), a plant with long, spiny foliage. Daphne laureola (also known as spurge laurel), a plant with dark green, leathery leaves. Japanese laurel 'Crotonifolia', a plant with large, glossy, yellow-speckled leaves. Continus 'Flame', or Cotinus coggygria, a plant with light green leaves that turn orange or red in autumn.
Summary:
Opt for small plants to minimize disturbance to the tree's root system. Pick out plants that thrive in shade to put under big trees. Choose leafy plants with interesting foliage to fill the space year round.
