In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Take the viable seeds and wash them thoroughly to remove any pulp or other matter.  Soak them in a small amount of distilled water for up to 24 hours. Many seeds require a period of cold, moist conditions to begin the germination process.  In nature, this is achieved when seeds sit in the ground over the winter. You can mimic these conditions through the process of stratification. For grape seeds, the best time to begin stratification is in December (the northern hemisphere winter).  Prepare a bed for your seeds. Fill an airtight bag or other capsule with a soft medium like wet paper towels or sand, vermiculite or peat moss that has been dampened. Peat moss is the best choice for grape seeds because its anti-fungal properties will help eliminate seed-damaging mold. Tuck the seeds into the bed. Cover them with about 1/2" (1.25 cm) of growing medium. Refrigerate the seeds. The ideal temperature for stratification is a steady 35-40 ºF (1-3 ºC), so the refrigerator is a good place for this process. Keep the seeds refrigerated for two to three months. Do not allow them to freeze. In early spring, remove the seeds from the refrigerator and plant them in pots filled with good soil. Plant seeds individually in small pots, or in larger pots with at least 1 1/2" (3.8 cm) between them.  Make sure your seeds stay warm enough. To properly germinate, the seeds need daytime temperatures of at least 70ºF (20ºC) and nighttime temperatures around 60ºF (15ºC). Use a greenhouse or warming mats to keep your seeds at the correct temperature. Keep the soil moist but not too wet. Mist the surface with a fine spray of water when it starts to look dry. Check for growth. Grape seeds typically take between 2-8 weeks to sprout. When your seedlings have grown to about 3" (8 cm), transplant them to 4" (10 cm) pots. For the healthiest plants, keep your seedlings indoors or in a greenhouse until they have reached a height of 12" (30 cm), have a good network of roots and have at least 5-6 leaves.
Summary: Prepare the seeds. Stratify your seeds. Plant your seeds. Transplant your seedlings.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Navel oranges bloom in the spring, but the fruit isn't ready until the winter. Start looking for them to ripen beginning in December. They may ripen at any time throughout the winter, though you can harvest the oranges all at once once you see they are ripe. By contrast, Valencia oranges take a full year to grow. They bloom in the spring and grow all through the winter well into the next summer. They will have both a bloom and the fruit in the summer, when you harvest the fruit from last year. When these citrus fruits are ripe, they turn bright orange. While not every variety turns orange all over, most of the fruit will be 1 color. Check your particular variety to see what it should look like when ripe.  For instance, Valencia oranges might still have a bit of green on them, even when they're ripe. Navel oranges, on the other hand, should be all orange. Don't worry about brown spots on the surface of the orange. They just mean your area is particularly sunny or humid. A fully ripe orange will be firm to the touch. If it has soft spots, it's likely overripe and on its way to being moldy. Also, because an orange is juiciest at its peak ripeness, it will feel heavy in your hand when it's ripe. A ripe orange will come off the branch when you give it a light pull and twist. If it's not ripe, it will be much harder to pull off. Leave it on the tree a bit longer if you can't get it to come off easily. If you're still not sure if your fruit is ripe, try cutting one open. Taste it to see if it tastes sweet, like a ripe orange, or bitter, like an unripe orange. While some fruits continue to ripen after you harvest them, oranges do not. Make sure to leave them on the tree until you are sure they are ripe. If the oranges have gone soft or are starting to grow mold, they are overripe.
Summary: Harvest in the winter for navel oranges. Watch for a bright orange color. Check for a firm, smooth fruit that's heavy for its size. Pull and twist on the orange to see if it will come off easily. Perform a taste test on a sample piece of fruit. Let the fruit ripen on the tree.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: If you live in Pennsylvania, there are several places that offer Pennsylvania Dutch classes, including Pennsilfaanish Deitsch Friend Groups (the Amish equivalent of churches), some universities, and some public libraries. The Pennsylvania German Society maintains a list of places that offer lessons and classes. There are not many printed sources in Pennsylvania Dutch, because it is primarily a spoken dialect, but there are some that will help you become a fluent reader.  The Pennsylvania Dutch Dialect Project includes a variety of short texts in the language, including jokes!  The German-Pennsylvanian Association maintains a website and blog that is mostly written in the language.  The Pennsylvania German Society publishes a journal, Der Reggeboge, that includes dialect pieces and columns.  The “Pennsylvania Dutch Blog” sometimes features pieces written in the dialect.  Pennsylvania native Brad Humble maintains a blog, "Brad Humble's Amish Country," on Amish culture and language that includes a cookbook, dictionary, and list of phrases. Because Pennsylvania Dutch is often pronounced quite differently from modern German, it’s important to listen to native speakers and attend to their pronunciation.  The University of Wisconsin at Madison has collected a bunch of audio interviews with Amish speakers, with transcripts provided.  Hiwwe wie Driwwe has its own YouTube channel with videos in spoken Pennsylvania Dutch. If you’re really serious about learning more about Amish culture and language, there are some colleges and universities that can help you. Millersville University, Kutztown University, and Elizabethtown College (all located in Pennsylvania) all have centers for the study of Pennsylvania German culture and language.
Summary:
Check if there are classes available in your area. Read as much as you can in the language. Listen to spoken Pennsylvania Dutch. Attend a college that has resources for Amish study.
