INPUT ARTICLE: Article: The floral center should be facing you, and away from your date's chest. The greenery, such as the leaves, should be facing away from you, toward your date's chest. Think of it as going above your date's heart. It should be roughly equidistant between the left and right edges of the lapel. Position the stem at a slight angle so it is running parallel to the edge of the lapel. Inserting the pin from the back will keep the pin hidden so the metal won't catch the light when you take pictures. Position the pin so that it is facing down. The point of the pin should go through the stem where it is thick, just below where it attaches to the petals. The pin should be secure and lay vertically against the lapel. The overall movement is a simple push out all the way through the fabric and the flower stem, then weaving back in through the flower stem and fabric. You can also think of the pin as going forward through the fabric and stem, then back through the fabric again. The head of the pin and the point of the pin will both end up on the back of the lapel, hidden from view. Take a step back and examine the placement, making sure it is not askew or starting to pivot on the pin. If the boutonniere is heavy, you may want to secure it with an second pin. Simply stitch the pin through the lapel and boutonniere as you did before, with this second pin about half an inch below the first.

SUMMARY: Hold the boutonniere correctly. Lay the boutonniere flat against the left lapel of the suit. Move the boutonniere so that the flower is on or just below the broadest part of the lapel, covering the top button hole. Lift the lapel to expose the back, holding the flower in place with your non-dominant hand. Push the pin through the back of the lapel and through the stem of the boutonniere. Guide the pin back through the stem and lapel, as though sewing a stitch. Wiggle the boutonniere to make sure it is securely fastened. Use a second pin if you need extra support.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: The seeds have a hard coating around them, so it's hard to get them to germinate. Soaking them softens that shell so that the seeds can sprout.  They should soak for at least 6 hours.  Use filtered or distilled water, as tap water is treated with chemicals. Pour seed starter into individual seed-starting cups. Place the seeds under the soil about 0.5 in (1.3 cm) deep.  You may also decide to start your seeds indoors if you’d prefer to plant seedlings instead of seeds directly into the soil. The best time to start your seeds is 5-6 weeks before the last frost. You can find your first and last frost dates by visiting the Almanac's website here: https://www.almanac.com/gardening/frostdates. This is the minimum temperature for placing the plants outdoors. Keep in mind that cooler temperatures can cause your seeds or seedlings to fail to thrive. If you started your seeds indoors, harden them off before you move them outdoors. To do this, place them outside for a few hours each day, gradually increasing how long they’re out there. Start with 2-3 hours, adding an additional hour each day for a week. Make sure that they are protected from the wind while they’re outside by placing them near a wall, fence, or other protective structure. This ensures that each plant has enough room to grow, and that the root systems are able to absorb the nutrients they need. You can plant your seeds closer together and thin them after they sprout. This may be a great option if you’re worried your seeds won’t sprout. You may be able to grow indigo in a pot, though its growth will be limited. Your pot should be at least 6 inches (15 cm) deep, but a larger pot will give you better results. However, you should choose a pot that you can bring indoors during cold weather.  You likely won't be able to harvest your potted indigo for dye. Some people grow small indigo plants in their windowsill. Use well-draining potting soil.
Summary: Soak your seeds in hot filtered water overnight before planting. Start your seeds indoors if you don’t live in a tropical area. Plant outdoors when temperatures stay above 50 °F (10 °C). Plant the indigo at least 1 foot (0.30 m) apart. Consider potting indigo if your area isn’t tropical.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Your pepper plants may not survive if you move them from the protected inside to harsh, all-day sunlight. Spend a couple more weeks setting them outside in indirect sunlight for brief periods during the day.  It may be best to choose hours in the morning or late afternoon, rather than during the hottest hours. Over the course of the 2 weeks, leave them out for a little bit longer each day. On the last day you do this, leave the plant out for about 8 hours. Avoid leaving young peppers out overnight until they are fully hardened off after a few weeks of increasing the time they spend outside. This is not really an exact amount, but not every plant or garden is the same. If you make the hole about the size of three good shovelfuls, you’ll have room to add some sand and compost, as well as put the plant in. Dig 1 hole at a time and follow the next steps. Then you can judge if the hole was big enough for your plant or if you need to make the following ones bigger. Since peppers started out in tropical climates, they thrive in sandy soil. Put 1 shovelful of sand into the hole, followed by 1 shovelful of compost or manure. Level the sand and compost out and pack them down just a bit. After the sand and compost are in the hole, gently pull the pepper plant from the pot. Place it into the hole carefully so that it stands up straight. Ideally, the top of the soil that’s attached to the plant should be about 1 inch (2.5 cm) below the top of the hole. Use the extra dirt from when you dug the holes to fill in around the plants. Pack the soil down nice and tight so it is pressed against the roots and soil that was on the roots. As the pepper plants continue to grow, they will spread their leaves out. Because of this, it’s important to plant them far enough apart for them to expand. Each row needs to be far enough from the one next to it so the plants can expand on both sides and give you room to walk through. You’ll want about 1 foot (0.30 m) of walking room between the rows, so be sure to leave enough room.  It’s better to put them farther apart rather than too close. Check recommendations for the specific variety of pepper that you are planting. Some benefit from closer spacing. Soak the soil all around the plants so the soil from the plants combines with what you added around the roots. There’s a danger of overwatering, so pay attention that the ground doesn’t become soggy. Transfer the soil moisture meter to your garden.

SUMMARY:
Place the plants outside in indirect sunlight for a few hours a day. Dig a hole for each plant that’s about 3 shovelfuls deep. Pour some sand and compost or manure in the planting hole. Set the plant into the hole. Fill the hole around the plant’s roots. Bury the pepper plants 18 to 24 in (46 to 61 cm) apart in the same row. Make the rows 24 to 36 inches (61 to 91 cm) apart. Give the plants a thorough watering.
