 How to plant chilies

Aim / Goal
Planting chilies is really easy. Not only easy, planting chilies is also useful to get fresh and hygienist chilies
from our own garden. My mom plants several chili-plants in my backyard house. She thinks that planting
chilies can save some money because the price of chilies in the market is so high. 

Materials
Before we plant chilies, we need to prepare several things such as chili seeds, small spade, compost, and
vessels. After all tools and materials have been prepared, then we begin to plant some chilies.

Steps
First, get a handful of chili seeds. Make sure you have already dried it under the sunlight. Second, make small
hole on the soil by using the small spade and put the seeds on it then close with soil. Make sure to put it on the
open area. Next, wait for several day until it come out the sprout. Finally, take the sprout off the soil and put it
on the vessel which full of soil and compost. The sprout will grow bigger and yield us some fresh chilies. Make
sure to watering the plant regularly.

MAKING CANDLES

Making coloured and scented candles is really quick and simple. What's more, you'll save so much money. If
making candle is easy, why do you ever buy one from a shop? What you need in making candle are wax, moulds, wick,
dye discs, essential oils, and a double boiler. All these materials are available from craft shops. Or if you do not want to
buy them, you can improvise with an old saucepan, Pyrex jug, or even a sturdy can, in a pot of water.
After providing the materials, (follow)1 this procedure or instruction in making candles!
First of all, (melt)2 the wax. All wax has a flash point, so to prevent it bursting into flames; you must (melt)3 it in a
double boiler, with water in the bottom of the pan.
Then, (prepare)4 the mould with the wick. (Thread)5 the wick through the mould and make sure that you leave a
good few centimeters sticking out of the hole in the bottom.
After that, (add)6 the scent. If you want a scented candle, add a few drops of essential oil to the melted wax. You can use
any essential oil you like, as long as it doesn't contain water.
Next step, (pour)7 the wax into the mould. (Try)8 and tip the wax into the mould quickly, all in one go, to
minimize spillage and air bubbles.
Then, (release)9 the bubbles and top it up. Releasing the air bubbles will eventually make the candle sink, so you
will need to top it up with more melted wax.
Finally, (remove)10 it from the mould. After four or five hours, the candle can be taken out of its mould. Your
candle is now ready for display. Remember, you must always leave it for a day before lighting it.
