Starting trees from seed can be one of the most rewarding gardening activities, but tree seeds often require a little more preparation than many common flower or vegetable seeds.

In most cases, there are two ways to start tree seeds: The natural way, which often includes sowing the seeds in the fall, or through forced or assisted germination, which is initially done indoors.

Seeds have been sprouting and trees have been growing for an awfully long time without any help from humans. The natural way to germinate tree seeds, then, is to allow nature to take its course. Most seeds, when sown in the fall without any pre-treatment, will begin to germinate the following spring. Be sure to sow the seeds at the recommended depth. If the seeds are planted too deep, this could delay or inhibit the spring germination process. With some seed varieties you may see germination spread over two or three years with some seeds germinating in the first spring and others taking longer to break dormancy and germinate.

It is important to remember that many species originated in cooler climates where seeds drop to the ground and are covered by leaves in the fall. Over the winter, the seeds remain bedded in this cool moisture environment. As the warm spring weather arrives the seeds then begin the germination process. For many types of seeds, the embryo inside the seeds is immature and unable to germinate (this is called dormancy) until it matures in this manner. The delay in the germination process is vital to the survival of many tree species. In a natural forest, if seeds germinated immediately upon falling to the ground in late summer or fall, the tender seedlings would die off during the cold winter.

Although natural germination is an acceptable way to start most tree seeds, sometimes better and more consistent results can be achieved through forced or assisted germination. Basically, it means using various techniques to mimic the role nature plays in causing tree seeds to germinate.

There are several techniques that may be involved to force the germination of any given tree seed. Please carefully read the recommended steps listed on each individual seed package.

Many seeds require one or more treatment steps to stimulate the germination process. The three steps are: 1) Scarification, 2) Cold Stratification, and 3) Warm Stratification. Keep in mind that not all seeds require all of these steps. In fact some seeds do not require any pre-treatment whatsoever.

Scarification is the process of reducing or breaking the seed coat so that moisture can penetrate and the embryo can begin the germination process. Scarification is commonly required on seeds with dense or hard seed shells. Many tree seeds do not require any scarification, and for those that do, the most common treatment is a simple water soak.

Hard seed coats can be broken down by a) a water soak, b) a physical or mechanical breaking of the seed coat, or c) a chemical or acid treatment (not commonly required).

a) Water soak: Pour water over the seeds and let them soak for the recommend time, often 6 to 24 hours. Most water treatments are done using room temperature water. It is best to use a glass container for soaking the seeds. Some seeds may require hot water as per instructions. Follow the above noted directions, using water at the recommended temperature.

b) Physical/Mechanical: Using a small file or sandpaper, rub the outside of the seed coat to reduce its density or to nick the seed coat so that moisture can more easily penetrate to the embryo. Take care to avoid damaging the seed embryo.

c) Chemical (Acid) Wash: The chemical wash method of scarification is generally used by commercial growers for select seed varieties and is often not required for home gardening purposes. If you are attempting it, you may want to consult a more detailed protocol and follow these basic guidelines: 1) Wear goggles and protective clothing. Wash immediately if any is spilt on your skin 2) Use a large glass jar or vessel 3) Place seeds in the dry glass container 4) Add the sulphuric acid concentrate at a volume about twice the volume of the seeds 5) Stir the mixture with a glass rod 6) Periodically check the seed for coat thickness by extracting a few seeds and cutting in half with pruners. Even in the same lot, the coat thickness may vary from seed to seed. 7) After soaking the seeds, decant acid and seeds through a screening device and wash for 5 to 10 minutes under cold water 8) Spread the seeds on a paper and allow to dry at room temperature. - be sure to spread the seeds out so that they do not clump

Stratification is the process of mimicking the natural over-wintering process by exposing the seeds to cool, moist conditions. The easiest way to undertake the stratification process is:

1) Take a few handfuls of peat moss and soak it in water until it is saturated 2) After soaking, use your hands to squeeze out as much water as possible 3) Place a layer of the moist peat moss in the bottom of a zip-lock plastic sandwich bag 4) Place the seeds on the layer and fill the rest of the bag with the peat moss 5) Seal the bag closed 6) Store the sealed bag in the bottom of the refrigerator for the appropriate stratification time.

During the cold stratification process, occasionally check the seeds for signs of early germination. If the seeds begin to germinate in the refrigerator, remove them and plant as normal.

After the prescribed stratification time in the refrigerator, remove the seeds and sow them in the normal manner.

The warm stratification step is designed to mimic the seeds summer dormancy when it is often imbedded in warm damp soil or mud. For warm stratification, follow the same steps outlined in cold stratification, except place the zip-lock bag in a warm location at or slightly above room temperature for a target temperature range of about 72 to 86 degrees F. (Often placing the bag on top of the refrigerator achieves this.)

During the warm stratification process, occasionally check the seeds for signs of early germination. If the seeds begin to germinate, plant as normal.

Seeds may be sown into individual containers or into seed trays. It is important to ensure that the seeds are planted at the recommend soil depth. Most tree seeds are planted much shallower than other annual seeds, but it typically depends on the size of the seed. Please follow the directions on each seed packet for appropriate planting depth. The seeds should be sown in a well-drained medium, such as a mixture of peat moss and vermiculite.

When sowing the seeds, fill the container or seed tray to about inch form the top with the moist medium (soil). Level the medium by gently shaking or taping the container.

For larger seeds those over a 1/3 of an inch tall, press half the seed into the medium. For smaller seeds, sprinkle them lightly over the surface of the soil. Cover the seeds with a fine layer of sand to a depth about the thickness of the seed.

After planting the seeds, gently water them and keep them moist but not wet. Maintaining high moisture and relative humidity is critical to germinating seeds. You can increase the humidity by enclosing the seed tray in a plastic tent. Be sure to poke some holes in the plastic cover to ensure adequate air circulation. Keep the trays in a warm but dimly lit location.

Germination can be as quick as a few days or as slow as several months, depending on the species and the environmental conditions. Once the seeds germinate, move the seedlings to a brighter location. You may need to nurse the seedlings indoors for a few months before planting outdoors. Try to give the young plants as much sun light as possible.

Pressure Washing Services for Your Home - Mr. Handyman

TAMPA Both men killed Thursday at the Big Bend Power Station in Apollo Beach were using pressure washers moments before lava-like slag gushed out of a tank and burned them, according to preliminary reports released Saturday by the Hillsborough County Medical Examiner.

The reports do not list an official cause of death for either man, but both were "covered in slag," the reports said.

Molten slag can reach temperatures of more than 1,000 degrees. Officials for Tampa Electric said workers were trying to unplug the clogged tank when the accident occurred.

Both Michael McCort, 60, a senior plant manager, and Christopher Irvin, 40, a contract employee, died at the scene. Five others were transported to Tampa General Hospital.

Pressure washing is one of two common ways to clean out the inside of a slag tank, said Walter Godfrey, the president of Fire/Reconstruction Consultants Inc. in Cape Canaveral, which investigates fires and explosions.

"It's like using a sandblasting unit, except you're using water instead," he said.

McCort's family declined to speak with reporters. His daughter, Heather McCort, posted on Facebook Saturday morning that her father lost his life "helping others and being a hero."

"The world lost such a wonderful man, husband, grandfather and friend," she wrote.

Irvin's family also declined to speak with a reporter Saturday, saying they were in mourning. Irvin was never married, but was a father to one child and was expecting another, the medical examiner wrote. He worked for Gaffin Industrial Services in Riverview, one of Tampa Electric's contractors at the plant.

In 2007, a Gaffin employee was killed in White Springs while using a power washer to clean the inside of a hot-well tank, according to an investigation by the federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration. The worker accidentally clipped his leg with the stream of water, which was so powerful that it cut his femoral artery. Gaffin was fined $35,000.

Four workers injured at the Tampa Electric plant remained in the hospital Saturday with life-threatening burns: Antonio Navarrete, 21, and Armando J. Perez, 56, both of Wimauma; and two Tampa men related by marriage, Frank Lee Jones, 55, and his stepson, Gary Marine Jr., 32.

Marine and Jones worked for Gaffin, like Irvin, the Times reported Friday. Navarrete and Perez worked for BRACE Industrial Group, the Times reported, along with an unidentified fifth worker, who was treated at the hospital and released.

McCort was the only worker who was a Tampa Electric employee.

Family members for the surviving workers could not be reached or declined to comment Saturday.

Tampa Electric spokeswoman Cherie Jacobs said the company could not release new information about the accident Saturday. "This is a very complex investigation and we are unable to provide updates," she said.

Two investigators from OSHA have started an investigation that could last six months.

Around Town July 4 - The Republic

ELLENDALE Two falls back in 2010 left Jerry Guyer disabled and out of a job. Seven years later, he remains on a limited income and unable to do strenuous work around his home.

When the work needed became too much, he contacted his social working with Delawares Division of Services for Aging and Adults with Physical Disabilities who then sent him to Linda Darling of Magnolia.

Since Ms. Darling coordinated the Catholic Heart Work Camp based out of Holy Cross Church in Dover, she knew just how to help Mr. Guyer and his wife Karen.

Soon, two students and a chaperone spent three days at the Guyers home power washing and painting the house, working on the shutters, repairing the propane enclosure and building a handicap ramp on the front deck.

I cant do it anymore. My accident was a life-changing experience for me because I was on the go 18 hours a day, Mr. Guyer said.

His accidents occurred in between two major snow storms when he fell twice on the ice while doing maintenance work. He says he can no longer turn his head, is limited on driving and has a bad knee. He also has a herniated disc in his back and two discs that are torn and leaking.

Im lucky to be able to walk. But Im in chronic pain. The accident affected me physically, mentally and financially, he explained.

The Guyers seemed to come into more luck when the young missionaries from Catholic Heart Work Camp arrived last week.

Theyve just been wonderful. Theyre being very, very precise in what theyre doing, Mr. Guyer said.

Marlee Snyder, 21 of Gilbertsville, Pa., was one of the students to help work on the Guyers home. She was joined by 17-year-old Sydney Bucher of Royersford, Pa. and 70-year-old Ken Reber of Pottstown, Pa.

Ive been wanting to participate more in our parish because its growing and Im young. Kids see youth participating and practice their faith; its good, Ms. Snyder explained.

Ms. Bucher said she felt the same way, explaining, At our school, theres a quote from John Paul, Dont be satisfied with mediocracy. It was a big thing this year. I took it to heart and decided to serve.

Both participants were on their first mission trip, but it wasnt a first for Mr. Reber who said he previously went to the Dominican Republic with his wife years ago. The three came to the Catholic Heart Work Camp from St. Columbkill Catholic Church in Boyerstown, Pa.

Im always looking for where God is leading me, you know, where do you want me to go. Heather [youth group director] requested a chaperone for this trip and I said Id give it a try, Mr. Reber said. I think the enthusiasm of these 164 kids is unbelievable.

The enthusiasm radiated from Dover all the way down to the Guyers home in Ellendale.

Were very blessed to have them here, me and my wife. I sat down in bed and just cried. It gets very depressing that I cant do it, he said. But we help when we can and to be helped in return is an amazing feeling.

Workers that died at TECO power plant were covered in lava-like slag - The Ledger

Kelly Quinby opened a restaurant last year. Now, she's ready to wash your car, wherever you are.

ROCKFORD Three weeks ago, Kelly Quinby became a business owner for the second time in nine months.

Her firstentrepreneurial effort Kell'z Restaurant and Pub is a family-style restaurant at Auburn Street and Central Avenue on Rockford's west side.

Her latest venture A & M Mobile Car Wash Service will show up at your house, your place of work or wherever you and your vehicle happen to be.

If you don't have time to run to the car wash, you can call us up and we'll come to wherever you work and wash your car right there in the parking lot, Quinby said. It's that easy.

Quinby started the business with a $7,000 investment of her own and a micro loan from Rockford Local Development Corp., a nonprofit economic developmentaffiliate of the city that manages a menu of loan programs providing gap financing tobusinesses big and small.The agency'smicro loans are typically offered in amounts between $10,000 and $100,000, thoughRLDCcloses perhaps half a dozen micro loans for projects like Quinby's which require only a few thousand dollars.

Kelly is very entrepreneurial and she has an interesting business plan," said RLDC director John Phelps. "This was a fairly small loan from our standpoint, but I decided to take a risk with them on a new concept, knowing that we couldn't lose a lot and it's an opportunity to establish a business that may have some real growth potential and hire quite a few people."

Quinby's startup capital was enough to buy a used truck, a flatbed trailer big enough to tote a 300-gallon water tank and a pressure wash system. She made a few cold calls to businesses she thought could benefit from an on-the-go car wash service an insurance company, a couple of office buildings and several new and used car dealerships in the Rockford area.

We washed 600 cars in the first week, said Quinby's boyfriend, Mike Ortiz, who along with a handful of other employees washes the cars. "Within a week or two, we'll easily be washing 1,000 cars or more."

Quinby said she's already making plans to buy a second truck and additional equipment and to take on a few more workers. Quinby is the owner and president of the car wash business. Her son, Austin Edwards, is vice president.

It's been incredible, she said. I think it's going to grow very fast. I think sky's the limit.

A & M Mobile Car Wash Service charges $25 to $40, depending on the size of the vehicle,for abasic wash and dry job, which includes an interior vacuum and a wipe-down of the dashboard. For $99, the customer can choose either a more thorough interior detail or an exterior detail. The interior makeover includes a vinyl, leather and plastic cleaning and treatment anda carpet shampoo and fabric extraction. The exterior detail includes clay barring, tar removal, iron and brake dust decontamination, tire dressing and application of a sealant to protectthe paint, glass and wheels. A combo interior and exterior detail jobruns $169. The company also provides headlight lamp restoration to make the foggy glass clear again for $75.

The U.S. car wash and auto detailing business is a $10 billion a year industry that's growing 3.1 percent annually, according to a market research report published in December by IBISWorld. But the industry is incredibly fragmented, with the 50 largest companies owning less than 20 percent of the market combined.

Mobile car wash services aren't new a quick Google search revealed at least one other such business operating in Rockford. They've been operating for yearsinlarger cities such as Los Angeles, Chicago and Orlando, and the idea is catching on elsewhere as Americans grow comfortable with on-demand services that make everyday chores such as hailing a taxi or buying groceries as simple as tapping an app on your cellphone.

The on-demand economy is attracting more than 22.4 million consumers annually and $57.6 billion in spending, according to a 2015 National Technology Readiness Survey. The largest categories of on-demand spending are online marketplaces such as Ebay and Etsy, followed by transportation services such as Uber and Lyft. Mobile car wash services may not be far behind. Quinby's business doesn't have a mobile app to allow customers to order a car wash with their cell phone, but she says one will be coming.

"It does make things very convenient," said Nick Shutkis, owner of Windsor Auto Sales in Loves Park and one of Quinby's first customers. "I've got 80 to 90 cars on this lot and if it rains or the cars get a little dirty, they need a quick wash. They do a nice job."
