Growth areas are not a tool to stop development; rather, they are used to geographically indicate where more development is appropriate and public Q. What is the Experience With Growth Boundaries in Other Areas? A. Oregon created urban growth boundaries as part of its state and regional land use policies.
Stage One - Hydration and Metabolism. In the first stage of germination, seeds begin to absorb water, a process called imbibation.. The seed coating softens as it absorbs water, and the seed then begins to metabolize, as the water triggers release of an enzyme that speeds cellular respiration, where starch is transformed into sugar.
Most salvia seeds will develop a gelatinous coating once they are moistened. Some will also develop a fuzzy mold on this coating prior to germinating. Salvia seeds start to germinate ( when the root first breaks through the seed shell) anywhere from 2 - 14 days, some may take even longer. A light misting can help stubborn seeds germinate. Once most of the seeds have germinated and the seed leaves have emerged remove the covering from the pots.
