In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: A week or 2 before the first freeze of the season, cover your planted peonies with mulch. You can use a commercial mulch if you’d like, but weeds, straw, pine needles, sawdust and grass will work just fine. Cover each of your planting sites with a 4–6 in (10–15 cm) layer of your preferred mulching material.  While peonies certainly need cold weather to grow, you don’t want the roots themselves to freeze too quickly or for too long. Mulching the soil insulates it and ensures that the soil won’t freeze and thaw repeatedly through the season. Most peonies need around 400-hours of exposure of near-freezing temperatures in the winter to bloom completely in the summer. You do not need to mulch peonies that you’re storing indoors. Indoor peonies do not require as many freezing hours, since their root systems won’t get that big anyway. Keep your pot near a chilly window during the winter months. As spring starts, wait for the temperature to consistently rise above 32 °F (0 °C). Once it has been above freezing for a few weeks, remove the mulch from your plant. Use a shovel or throw on some thick gloves and scrape it off the top of the soil. If you accidentally scrape away some of the top soil, go ahead and replace it. Get a fertilizer that is low in nitrogen from your local gardening store. As spring progresses, you’ll soon notice stems sticking out of the ground. When the stems get to be around 2–3 inches (5.1–7.6 cm) high, sprinkle 2-3 tablespoons (15-20 g) of fertilizer into the soil and mix it with your top soil by hand or with a trowel. You may not see any stems emerge from the soil for the first 1-2 years. Over the course of the first 2 years, you may not notice much progress with your peonies. Peonies can live over 25 years, but they take a while to get going. During the first 2 years, water your plants every other week to ensure that the soil retains moisture and the roots get some water. Apply a soft stream of water to the top soil for 5-6 seconds when you go to water the rest of your garden.  You do not need to water your peonies in the winter. You can water less frequently once stems begin to grow. If your flower is going to bloom on a given year, you’ll notice the stems in early-to-mid spring. Once you notice your flowers growing, water them once every 3-4 weeks. Peonies are pretty easy to care for after the first few years, and it’s particularly hard to starve them of water since their root systems are so efficient. Give them a few seconds of water by spraying around the stem of the plant once your peonies have grown. Peonies typically bloom around April or May. The blooms may only last a few weeks, but they’ll be back next year! Once your plants start to wither, you need to trim them down to avoid starving the roots. Grab a set of garden shears a week before the first freeze of the winter season. Cut your flowers down until there are only 3 inches (7.6 cm) of stem remaining  near the soil. Mulch the soil and repeat the process to ensure that your flowers come back next year. You can prune your plant to remove dead bulbs if you’d like, but peonies typically don’t require much (if any) pruning. The biggest predators when it comes to peonies are blight, rot, and fungus. If you ever notice discolored fungus or dark rot setting into your plants, trim them down to the topsoil and discard the damaged portions of each plant. Wait for a year to allow the winter frost to kill any remnants of the disease.  Peonies tend to be very resilient when it comes to insects and illness. If you ever have a year where your plants seem sickly, the winter will freeze away most of the common offenders and your plants will grow back beautifully next year. You may notice ants feeding on the flowers when they bloom. Don’t worry about the ants, they can’t permanently damage the plant and won’t cause very much trouble—they’re only there for the secretions that come out of the flowers.
Summary: Mulch your flowers over the winter to protect your plants. Remove the mulch once spring arrives and the ground thaws. Add a low-nitrogen fertilizer to your soil when the stems emerge. Water your plants once every other week for the first 2 years. Give peonies water once every 3-4 weeks after the stems grow. Cut your flowers down to 3 in (7.6 cm) as the following winter sets in. Trim your plants down to the base of the stem if they get ill.

Do not cook them any further than this. Use the serving suggestions above.

One-sentence summary -- In spite of what was said about serving immediately, as noted by Julia Child and other chefs like Michael Romano, it is possible to make poached eggs in advance for the busy cook with a crowd to feed. Drop them into a pan of simmering, salted water for 20-30 seconds (and no more than one minute) and they're ready to serve immediately.

Problem: Article: If you want to invent a sport, you’ll have to see what kind of balls, rackets or sticks, and goal-type equipment you have. Look around your own house and ask your friends too. Make sure you have enough if each player needs to use their own stick or ball.  You might find a golf ball, a baseball bat, a football helmet, and a racket. You don’t have to pick up all of the stuff, but at least make a list of what you have. If you have no sports equipment, make a sport that doesn’t need any. Use just your body and your environment. Adapt running, hand-to-hand combat, or exercise into a sport. Use non-sports equipment for the game. Look for buckets, brooms, rocks, sticks, chairs, boxes, blankets, or any other household items to somehow use for a sport. Come up with how players score in the game. Have them throw something the farthest, or hit a ball the most times. Make sure you choose if they must reach a certain score, or if whoever has the best score or performance wins.  For example, you might have to score the most points to win. You might score by using the racket to hit the golf ball into the helmet from different distances away. The scoring doesn't have to be points. It could be accomplishing a task first, performing a feat best, or doing something the most times. You don’t have to make totally new rules for your game, just use the rules of other games you know. Make sure the rules tell players what they have to do and what they are not allowed to do. Combine rules from different sports so they fit together.  For example, most sports have boundary lines that players must stay within. If you cross a boundary line, the other player or team takes control of the game. Make rules about players touching each other. Football allows players to make physical contact with regulations about what's acceptable. Yet, baseball has very little contact. Include rules about how to use the equipment, such as kicking the ball in soccer, throwing and catching the ball in football, or tagging the base in baseball. Decide if your game is played one-on-one or with teams, or if it works with either. If there has to be an exact number, make sure you know how many. If the game works with different numbers of players, that will give you more freedom. For example, tennis only works with two players or four players, but basketball works with two to ten or more players. Make sure you have enough space to play. Stay away from buildings and anything else that might get in the way. You’ll need room to run around for most sports. Ask your parents before you go away from your house. If you need any type of boundaries or starting lines, use trees or the edge of the grass. If you have cones or rope, use that to set up lines, too.
Summary:
Gather up some sports equipment. Describe how the scoring works. Come up with a set rules for your game. Set a number of players who can play. Find an open place to play the sport in.
