Summarize the following:
The three sisters need plenty of space to grow to their fullest potential. Ideally, the plot should be at least 10 by 10 feet (3.0 m × 3.0 m) large. The plot should not be near any tree, sheds, walls, or other shaded areas. A neutral pH is ideal for growing corn, squash, and beans. Contact your local extension office or gardening store for a soil pH testing kit. If you need to, amend the soil before planting to get it to the right pH. If you need to raise the pH, mix lime into the soil. If you need to lower it, add sulfur. These can be bought at garden stores and nurseries. Heirloom varieties are more traditional, and they grow well together. Non-heirloom varieties of beans, in particular, may grow too large and overwhelm the other plants if used.  Choose flint, dent, or flour corn varieties. While you can plant sweet corn, you will have to harvest it much earlier than the other plants. Choose pole or runner beans instead of bush beans. Dry beans, such as pinto or kidney beans, or green beans work well. Pumpkin or squash works well in this configuration. Winter squash and sugar pumpkins are ideal. Use your hands to push and pack dirt into mounds. Flatten out the top of each mound. Each mound should be 1 foot (0.30 m) high and 3–4 feet (0.91–1.22 m) wide. Keep each mound 3–4 feet (0.91–1.22 m) apart.  Mark the center of each mound with a stick. This will help you measure and find your mounds. When you plant the vegetables, corn will grow in the mound with beans around the corn and squash around the beans. Many people plant the three sisters because they grow well organically. To keep up with this practice, prepare the soil by applying an organic high-nitrogen fertilizer around the mound. You can use manure, fish emulsion, or—for a very traditional approach—fish scraps. If you decide that you don’t want an organic garden, you can use a basic 10-10-10 fertilizer.

summary: Choose a large spot that receives at least 6 hours of full sunlight. Test the soil for a pH between 5.5 and 7. Select heirloom varieties of corn, beans, and squash. Create mounds for each plot of plants. Fertilize the soil with traditional or organic fertilizers.

Take a can opener and place the circular disc on the inside rim of the can. Clamp the 2 handles down to puncture the can with the disc. Rotate the knob on the exterior side while keeping the handles clamped together to rotate the disc around the can and cut it off.  If you have a manual can opener (also called a camp opener), hold the opener in your right hand. Puncture the inside rim of the can with the pointed blade. Then, turn it like your turning the ignition in a car until you’ve carved around the entire can.  Canned beans are already cooked, so you really only need to heat them. If you were really hungry though, you could eat them right out of the can. Get a microwave-safe container and pour your beans in. Cover the beans with plastic wrap and puncture 3-4 holes in the top of the plastic wrap with a fork. Read the label on your can for specific directions on heating the beans in the microwave; usually, the beans need to be microwaved for 6-8 minutes.  Glass and ceramic are always microwave-safe unless they’re painted. To check, look on the bottom of a bowl and look for the words “microwave safe.” Some containers will have a symbol with 3 waves on it to indicate that the container is safe for the microwave. Be careful when removing the container that the beans were heating in. It may be exceptionally hot when you take it out depending on the material that the bowl is made out of. Seasonings can be added before you microwave the beans by mixing them in before you heat them. You can also add them after they’ve heated and mix them in while you’re letting the beans cool if you want.

summary: Open a can of pinto beans with a can opener. Heat the beans for 6-8 minutes in the microwave for a quicker dish.

You might accumulate yellow matter between your teeth if you are not flossing regularly. Flossing can instantly remove a lot of the build-up between your teeth that causes discoloration. Make sure to make flossing part of your daily routine.  Use a good amount of floss — it should be about 18 inches in length. Grip  the floss tightly in each hand, and move the floss up and down between each tooth. Curve the floss into a "C" shape, so that you are covering the entire surface. Use fresh sections of floss as you move around your mouth.  Do at least six up and down movements on each tooth surface. Be gentle — don't damage your gums. Whitening your teeth does not have to be expensive. You can use several items that you probably already have in your own home. One effective method is to make a paste out of baking soda and lemon juice. Baking soda can help balance the Ph levels in your mouth, and lemon juice is a natural sort of bleach.  You will need a few teaspoons of baking soda and a small amount of lemon juice. Mix them together until you reach a paste-like consistency (partly liquid). Then use a toothbrush to spread the paste onto all of your teeth. Leave on for one minute, then rinse your mouth thoroughly with water. Be careful not to brush your teeth too hard with this paste, as you may produce some abrasion on enamel. Baking soda can also be used to create a scrub by combining it with salt and strawberries. The salt will act as sort of an exfoliant to scrub gunk from your teeth. Strawberries contain a lot of vitamin C, which is good for breaking down plaque. To make this scrub, you'll need two to three strawberries. Mash them together, and add a sprinkle of salt and a dime-sized amount of baking soda. Spread the scrub onto your teeth using a toothbrush. Let sit for five minutes, then rinse. Hydrogen peroxide is common in most homes, and is often used for minor scrapes or cuts. It can also be used as an inexpensive method for whitening your teeth. Simply swish a very small amount in your mouth for a few seconds, then spit it out. Then brush your teeth as you normally would. In addition to strawberries and lemons, there are other foods that can help remove the yellow from between your teeth. Try using an orange peel. Before you go to bed, rub the peel of an orange across your teeth for a few minutes. The vitamin C will help to break down the yellow. You should see results within a few weeks. If you don't want to make your own whitening products, there are many that you can buy. Look for a toothpaste that specifically promotes its whitening agents. Also, look for a brand that has been approved by the American Dental Association. Your local drugstore will have many options for you. Some of these methods will give you instantly whiter teeth. But for best results, you should get in the habit of taking steps to remove yellow from between your teeth. If you take regular steps to promote the health of your teeth, you will see more significant and longer lasting results.
summary: Floss. Make a paste. Concoct a scrub. Rinse with hydrogen peroxide. Raid the refrigerator. Buy a whitening toothpaste. Get in a routine.
