Article: Monitor the growth of the seedlings closely. Don't let the seedlings get too big, as more leaves will form, which can cause crowding. It's easiest to wait until the seedlings are tall enough to grasp. Seed leaves are replaced by true leaves as the seedlings grow. Look for leaves that match the adults, as seed leaves are more rounded and simpler than true leaves. Waiting for the true leaves to appear helps you pinpoint the healthiest seedlings to keep. Thinned seedlings have a greater survival chance if the weather is not too hot or cold. Moisten the soil with a hose or a watering can if it's too dry. It's easier to pull up roots from damp soil. Only start thinning out when the temperature is cooler. The remaining seedlings need time to adjust to the extra air and light before the increased sunlight exposure during the next day. This prevents the seedlings from getting stressed and helps them to grow into healthy adults. Look for the seedlings that appear bright, healthy, and disease-free. Use thin wooden sticks like toothpicks or popsicle sticks to mark these seedlings. Check that there is only 1 seedling per cell or that you have followed the recommended spacing. Taller seedlings aren't always stronger. Avoid choosing tall and spindly seedlings, as these may not become healthy adults.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Thin the seedlings when they are 23 inches (5.17.6cm) tall. Look for 1-2 sets of true leaves on each seedling. Pick a mild day when the soil is damp. Wait until the evening to give the seedlings a good chance to adjust. Locate the strongest and healthiest seedlings to keep.

Problem: Article: Expect to wait about 5 years to harvest your first truffles. Some truffles may be ready for harvest as early as 3 years after planting or not until 10 years after planting, but 5 years is the average. Avoid digging into the base of your trees before the truffles are ready. You may end up damaging the growing truffles and losing profit as a result. Your truffles should be ready to harvest at the beginning of winter. Wait for the temperatures to drop and then check to see if any truffles are ready for harvest. Plan to harvest in early winter before the ground starts to freeze. If you wait too long it may be difficult to dig up the truffles. The grass will look like it has been burnt right around the base of a tree that has truffles growing underneath it. This is because the fungus is killing off the other plants in the area around the tree. The dead grass around the base of the tree is called the "brulee." A well-trained dog can make harvesting truffles much easier for you. You can train the dog to find, dig up, and bring you the truffles. Use positive reinforcement to teach your dog to find truffles and bring them to you. For example, every time your dog retrieves a truffle, make sure to offer lots of praise and a treat. You can also use a female pig to find truffles for you, but you have to watch the pig closely when they find a truffle because they will eat it.
Summary: Wait to harvest until the trees are at least 5 years old. Plan to harvest in the winter. Watch for dead grass at the base of the tree as a sign of growth. Consider training a dog to find truffles.

Article: The evening before you will need them, take the rolls out of the freezer and leave them on the counter to come to room temperature. If they are covered with foil, go ahead and loosen it to allow some air to circulate. If the rolls were frozen in a pan, it is fine to leave them that way, just make sure to give them ample time to warm prior to baking. If you've stored your rolls in the refrigerator, then you can shorten the thawing time quite a bit. Usually 10 minutes is sufficient to thaw rolls not encased in a container. You may need to go up to 30 minutes if the rolls are packaged. If the rolls are individually wrapped, then unwrap each of them before setting them out to thaw. It is best if the rolls are not touching. If the rolls are wrapped as part of a package, loosen the covering or remove it entirely to prepare for baking.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Leave them overnight on the counter. Thaw refrigerated rolls for 10 minutes. Loosen any coverings.
