In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Use at least 4 seed potatoes to get started. Seed potatoes grow root sprouts, which you use to grow potatoes. Potatoes don’t grow from traditional “seeds.” Use seed potatoes with 1-4 sprouts per potato for best results. For best results, use small to medium seed potatoes. Place each of your seed potatoes inside an individual cell of the carton. Keep the sprouts pointed upwards so they can continue to grow. You can spread out the potatoes across the egg carton rather than placing them immediately next to each other. Place your seed potatoes on a kitchen table near a sunny window, and keep an eye out for sturdy, green shoots. When kept in bright light around 60–70 °F (16–21 °C), potatoes often grow quickly and healthy. You can place your potatoes on any flat surface in a sunny space. When your seed potato sprouts reach around 1⁄2–1 in (1.3–2.5 cm), they are ready for your garden. To grow as many potatoes as possible, use a whole seed potato. To grow larger potatoes, use a knife to chop your potatoes so each chunk has 1-2 sprouts.  Whole seed potatoes grow smaller potatoes overall, but you’ll have a lot of them. Use potatoes with 4-5 sprouts. Chopped up seed potatoes grow large-sized potatoes but fewer quantities.
Summary: Purchase sprouted seed potatoes from a farmers market or nursery. Put the potatoes in an egg carton with the sprouts pointing upwards. Leave your seed potatoes in a warm location for 2-3 weeks. Plant your potatoes when the sprouts are 1⁄2–1 in (1.3–2.5 cm) long.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: If you want a faster swing, you have to teach your body what it feels like to swing a bat faster.  Choose a bat that is ten to fifteen percent lighter than your normal bat.  Swing it as fast as you can for five reps.  Do five sets of this three times a week.  Remember to have proper mechanics. Don’t practice swinging with a heavier bat or you could alter your swing. Your swing should be compact for maximum speed.  Walk to a fence and then measure out the proper length of your swing from the fence.  Swing your bat by the fence.  If you hit the fence, then your swing is dragging too long.  Do three sets of twenty reps three times a week. This drill works best with a chain link fence.  It could damage a wood fence. Switch the position of your hands.  Have someone toss a ball up and practice driving it into the net.  This will help you learn how to snap your wrists at the end of your swing and get the most out of the torque energy your body generates. Do three sets of twenty reps three times a week. Assume a normal batting stance and have a friend toss up a ball.  Practice swinging the club of your bat through the ball.  Really focus your attention on the club of your bat.  This drill will help you follow through with your swing. If you don’t swing through the ball, you can’t have a smooth swing. Do three sets of twenty reps three times a week.
Summary: Swing a light bat. Swing by a fence. Cross your hands. Practice swinging your club through the strike zone.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: When the dahlia first starts growing, it will develop 4 sets of leaves. Pinching off the top of the plant above the fourth set of leaves will encourage branching, resulting in a fuller plant and therefore more flowers.  At this point in their growing cycle, the dahlias are sprouting rapidly, so they’ll recover quickly. You can continue to remove new growth throughout the growing season to encourage even more flower production. New growth is easy to remove with just your forefinger and thumb, although you can use a sharp tool if you prefer. More flowers take up more of the dahlia’s energy, resulting in smaller flowers. To get the biggest dahlia blooms, restrict the number of flowers on each plant, so the energy can be directed towards growing just a few large flowers. If you prefer to have more flowers and you aren’t as worried about size, just focus on cutting back new growth occasionally. As the dahlia branches out, you may see as many as 10 flowers on a single plant. The practice of removing faded flowers, also called deadheading, encourages more blooms. You may even see your dahlia bloom all the way through the fall if you remove faded flowers through the season.  Since dahlias have tough, stringy stems, it’s easiest to remove the flowers with sharp scissors, pruning shears, or a knife. Cut back the flower stem to where it meets a main stem. When all the petals have completely fallen off the flower, it can be hard to tell the difference between a new flower bud and the closed calyx left behind from the flower, also known as the dead head. However, the dead head is cone-shaped, whereas a bud is rounded. While removing dead heads will encourage new buds to begin blooming, removing the buds will delay flower development.
Summary:
Pinch the tips off of dahlias once they reach 16 in (41 cm). Limit each plant to 3 to 5 flowering stems if you want giant blooms. Allow up to 10 flower stems if you don’t mind smaller blooms. Cut off flowers with scissors once they have started to fade. Do not remove rounded buds when you're deadheading.
