INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Peppers that are having difficulty bearing fruit in warm weather may benefit from being spritzed with a combination of 1 quart water and 1 teaspoon Epsom salts. Another idea is to place a tablespoon of Epsom salts in the ground at the base of the pepper plant and cover the material over with dirt so that it can soak in. Should gardeners end up with fruits that are black at the ends, a condition known as blossom end rot, they will need to find a way to add more calcium to their soil. The simplest way to do this is by watering affected pepper plants with any milk that expires in the fridge. Small amounts of soured milk can be mixed up with water if there wouldn’t be enough to use on every plant. Aphids are a typical garden pest that can be removed temporarily by a hard spray of water. Organic gardeners may want to try these bugs with neem or pyrethrum based sprays. Repeated applications may be necessary as these garden menaces are especially hard to eradicate. Temperatures below 65° or above 95° can keep peppers from producing fruit. If it is just a minor cold spell or heat wave, they will resume production once it has passed. Keep in mind that cold temperatures are especially bad for the health of peppers. Those exposed to extremely chilly weather may not recover from the experience, so it may be advisable to bring them indoors until the temperatures have warmed back up.

SUMMARY: Use Epsom salts to encourage the plant to bear fruit. Use calcium to deal with blossom end rot. Spray the plant with water or insecticides to get rid of aphids. Protect your plants from cold or hot temperatures.

Finish blending when it looks like a slushie. Add more sweetener to taste if needed. Pour into chilled glasses and garnish with a mint leaf or strawberry half.

SUMMARY: Prepare the strawberries. Add the strawberries to the blender. Pour in the lemonade (or other liquid of choice). Blend to combine for about one minute. Blend the ice in. Taste. Serve immediately.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Air plants have tiny silver discs or scales all over their leaves. If you look closely at an air plant in bright light, you will see the discs shimmering. These discs absorb moisture and nutrients for the plant. every two to three days during spring, summer and fall. Spray a fine mist until the water drips from the leaves. Use room-temperature water to avoid stress that would be caused by cold tap water. Cold stress could cause the leaves to turn brown and brittle.  Mist them in the morning so they will be dry or nearly dry by the end of the day. Water them less often in the winter during their dormant season. They can also be watered by soaking the entire air plant in a sink or bowl of water for 30 minutes once a week. With this method, the air plants should be shaken gently after soaking to remove  excess water. If the air plant’s leaves curl or roll up, it is not being watered often enough and has become too dry. Soak it in a bowl of room-temperature water overnight. Take it out of the water the next morning, shake it off and put it back in its place. Mist it or soak it more often to prevent it from drying out again. You can care for an air plant indoors by setting it directly in front of the window if a sheer curtain is hung between the plant and window. The optimum amount of light will result in a vigorous air plant with healthy green or gray-green leaves. Inadequate light will cause slow growth and pale leaves. Excessive light will turn the leaves tan, dry and brittle. This is particularly helpful if there isn't a bright, sunny window in the house. Use a special fluorescent bulb designed for plants that provides full spectrum light. Set the light up so that the bulb is 6 to 8 inches (15.2 to 20.3 cm) above the air plant and leave it on for 12 to 18 hours each day, depending on how much natural light it receives. The light should be turned on in the morning around sunrise and turned off 12 to 18 hours later.

SUMMARY:
Find your plant’s discs. Water air plants Give your plant a heavy soak once a week, instead of watering it lightly every 2 to 3 days. Help your plant out if it is not getting enough water. Set the air plant near an east-, west- or south-facing window if possible but not in direct sunlight. Use a fluorescent lamp to provide additional light.
