INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Use the spade to dig holes spaced a few inches apart, or as indicated on the packaging of the seeds or young plants you bought. Make sure the holes are as deep and wide as they need to be. Place the seeds or plants in the holes and cover them with soil. Pat the soil gently into place. Depending on the plants you choose to grow, you may need to fertilize the garden again after planting. Some plants may need more fertilizer than others, so make sure you use it only in the spots that require it. Some types of plants require a thin covering of compost, mulch or topsoil to protect them during seed germination and while the plant is young and fragile. Spread the material by hand, or use a soil spreader to cover a larger area. Some types of compost or mulch aren't appropriate for certain plants. Conduct research on the produce you're growing to make sure you use the right ground cover. Too thick a layer could inhibit growth, so make sure you add only as much as each type of plant needs. When you're finished planting and treating the soil, use the garden-hose nozzle's "sprinkler" setting to dampen the garden thoroughly. Water the garden every day you don't get significant rain, adding more or less water to different areas according to the plants' needs for the first few weeks after planting. Over-saturating the soil could drown the seeds and prevent the plants from growing. Don't water to the point where streams of water run through the garden. Never let the soil completely dry out. Watering once a day is sufficient. Once the plants have sprouted, water in the morning, rather than at night. Water sitting on the leaves and stems all night can lead to the production of mold and other plant diseases. After a few weeks, reduce how often you water the plants. Give the garden deep waterings two or three times a week or as needed. . Sprouting weeds take nutrients from the soil, leaving less for your vegetables or flowers. Weed the garden every few days to make sure your plants get the nutrients they need. Be careful not to pull up sprouting garden plants. A stirrup hoe will help remove weeds before they get too big. You can pull the hoe along just below the soil surface between plants to take out the weeds. These critters can be an annoyance in a garden. See Control Moles and Gophers and related articles.

SUMMARY: Plant the seeds or young plants according to your design. Fertilize as necessary. Add compost, mulch or topsoil as necessary. Water the garden. Weed the garden Watch for signs of moles or gophers.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Follow your ice cream maker's instruction manual for preparing the machine. You'll probably need to freeze the ice cream freezer bowl for at least 24 hours before you use it. You can leave the bowl in the freezer right until you're ready to churn the ice cream. Measure out 2 tablespoons of the whole milk and pour it into a small prep bowl. Add 2 tablespoons of cornstarch and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Use a fork to whisk the mixture together until it's smooth. Set this thickening mixture aside while you prepare the rest of the ice cream base. Set a saucepan on the stove and pour in the rest of the 2 1/2 cups (590 ml) of whole milk, 1 cup (236 ml) of heavy cream, 3/4 cup (150 g) of granulated sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Stir the mixture to combine the ingredients. It's important to use whole milk (not skim or low fat milk) in this recipe, since the fat in the milk will help your ice cream set up properly. Get out a bowl that's larger than the saucepan. Fill half of the bowl with ice and pour cold water over it, so the bowl is half-full of ice water. The ice bath will quickly chill the ice cream base once it's cooked. Turn the saucepan with the ice cream base mixture on to medium heat. Whisk the mixture every once in a while until it simmers. Once it simmers, set a timer and whisk the mixture for 6 minutes. Whisking will prevent the ice cream base from sticking to the bottom of the pan. Turn the heat to low and continue to whisk the ice cream base. Whisk in the cornstarch mixture that you mixed up. It's important to whisk while you do this, so the ice cream won't develop lumps of thickener. Turn the heat up to medium and whisk the base for two more minutes. You should notice the base start to thicken as the cornstarch mixture cooks. Turn off the heat and set the saucepan directly into the bowl with the ice water. Continue to whisk the ice cream base as you do this, so it cools evenly. Put the thermometer into the ice cream base to check the temperature. The ice cream base should be 45 degrees F (10 C) before you freeze it. Pour the cold ice cream base into the frozen ice cream freezer bowl that fits your ice cream maker. Turn the machine on and churn the ice cream. Depending on your machine, this may take 35 to 45 minutes. You'll see the ice cream thicken and pull away from the sides of the bowl once it's finished freezing. Pull apart one large ball of cotton candy into pieces or long strands and add it to the churning ice cream. Do this during the last minute or two of churning to evenly distribute the cotton candy. If you'd rather stir the cotton candy in by hand, you can wait incorporate it until you're ready to serve it. If you like soft ice cream, you can scoop the ice cream out into bowls or cones and serve it immediately. If you'd like a firmer ice cream, transfer the ice cream to freezer-safe containers and freeze it for several hours. Consider serving the ice cream with additional cotton candy.

SUMMARY: Freeze the ice cream bowl. Whisk some of the milk with the cornstarch and vanilla. Stir together the milk, cream, sugar, and salt. Set up an ice bath. Heat the ice cream base. Whisk in the cornstarch mixture. Cook the ice cream base. Chill the ice cream base in the ice bath. Churn the ice cream in a mixer. Add the cotton candy. Serve the cotton candy ice cream.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: You can also break them up with your hands as well. If you can't find any crackers, you can use biscuits or light-colored cookies (ie: vanilla wafers, sugar cookies, graham crackers, etc.). Don't use chocolate chip cookies or Oreosthose are way too dark! You can use a bowl, sink, plastic bag, or even a toilet. If you want to make more vomit, chew up and spit out more crackers. If you spat the crackers into a toilet, you don't need anymore water. If you spat them into a bowl, bag, or sink, then add in a little water. This makes the vomit look more real. You can also try some white vinegar, apple cider vinegar, apple juice, or even a little milk. Wet cat food or wet dog food work great for this. You can also use a little bit of canned tuna or baby food. It will help make the vomit look (and smell!) more real. You could also chew up some cereal, spit it out, then mix it with vinegar. Add some on the toilet seat. It'll look like you missed! If you used the toilet, don't flush it! If you left it in a bowl or trash bag, you could take it to a parent, guardian, or teacher, and say that you threw up.

SUMMARY:
Chew up some crackers. Spit the crackers into a plastic bag. Add some water, if needed. Add something mushy and smelly. Leave the vomit for someone to find.
