There's a fine line between turning firewood into beautiful things and beautiful things into firewood.

She plants the seeds and sells the seedlings at the local farmer's market.  The seedlings sell out in no time.  :)

As a general rule, the best time of year to plant a seed is the time of year that the seed is hitting the ground ;).

There were a few seeds that hit the ground 2 weeks ago, scattered all the way from North Carolina to Georgia ;D.

Speaking of seeds hitting the ground right now, I am under attack from the big white oak that overhangs my driveway.  I blew acorns off twice yesterday and once just before dark today.  Had to duck and scramble a couple of times while doing it.   >:(

Hundreds of them....

I am blowing them into a specific area so I can harvest them and dispose of them elsewhere.  I have dozens and dozens of seedlings in the yard from the last acorn crop 2 years ago.  The wife does not want any more popping up.

I have taken a few inside and bagged them.

Is it unusual for white oak acorns to start sprouting before the end of September?

Negative.  White oak sprouts in the fall and begins to put down a taproot.  It figures on an early start.

Well, I knew they sprouted in fall, but before the end of September seemed a bit early - especially as warm as it has been.

I guess viability, ripeness, and readiness are bigger factors than temperature.

I just wish they grew faster.  I'd be more inclined to propagate them if they did.
