INPUT ARTICLE: Article: As soon as a burn occurs, stop what you are doing. Make the scene safe by shutting off any open flame or burner so no one else gets hurt. If there is a fire that is out of control, get out of the area as soon as possible and call emergency services. If it is a chemical burn, stop and clear the area for safety. Remove the chemical from your skin if possible. Use a dry brush for dry chemicals, or rinse the burn under cool water. If it is an electrical burn, turn off the source of the electricity and move away from any wires. If the fire is out of control in your home, call 911 to get the fire department to your area. Call poison control if you are unsure whether the chemical could cause other side effects. For an electrical burn, call 911 if the wire is still live, or if the burn was caused by a high-voltage wire or a lightning strike. If you are unsure if the wire is still live, do not touch it directly. Touch it with a dry, nonconducting source like a dry piece of wood or plastic. People who have suffered electrical burns should always seek medical attention, as the electricity can interfere with your body's natural electrical impulses and cause severe side effects. Look at the burned area of the hand to assess the damage. Note the placement of the burn on the hand. Look at the appearance of the burn and note specific characteristics. This will help you decide which type of burn you have. Burns are classified as first-, second-, or third-degree, depending on how deeply they have burned the skin. First-degree burns are the mildest type, while third-degree burns are the worst. Different methods are used to treat burns depending on their degree. If the hand burn is on the palm, you should seek prompt medical attention. Burns on the palm could cause long-term disability. If you have circumferential burns on your fingers (meaning the burns wrap around any or several fingers), seek prompt medical attention. This type of burn can restrict blood flow and in severe cases could require amputation of the finger if left untreated.

SUMMARY: Secure your environment. Call for help. Assess the hand burn.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Seed starting kits are available at most garden centers. However, annual seeds can be planted in almost any type of container, from egg cartons and plastic cups to muffin tins and milk cartons. Be sure to poke a drainage hold in the bottom of each container. Use a seed starting mix, available at most garden centers, to grow your seeds indoors. Regular garden soil will compress the seeds and prevent root growth. Wet the soil before adding it to the growing containers. Consult the directions on the seed packet to determine at what depth to plant the annual seeds. A good rule of thumb is to plant the annual seed at a depth that is 2 or 3 times the seed's diameter. Some experts recommend keeping containers on top of a refrigerator, which is warm and usually out of direct sunlight. Ideal temperatures for seed growth are usually between 60 and 75 degrees F (15.56 and 23.89 degrees C). The soil should be moist, but not too wet. Do not overwater the seeds or they may rot. Once the seeds sprout, transfer the container to a warm, sunny location. For best result, choose a bright south-facing window or place the seedlings under fluorescent grow-lights. Thin seedlings to 1 plant for every 1.5 inches (3.8 cm), or 1 seedling per small container. Plant the seedlings on a cool, cloudy day. Excessive heat, sun and wind can stress to seedlings and may kill tender transplants. If the transplant day is sunny, plant the seedlings late in the day to avoid the harsh mid-day sun. Remove weeds from the garden soil where the seedlings will be planted. Plant the seedling. Dig a hole that is large enough for the seedling's root system, and place the seedling in the hole. Cover the hole with garden soil and gently tap down the soil around the plant using the palm of your hand. Water the annuals after transplanting. During the first few weeks, keep the soil moist while the plant's roots become established. If plants start to wilt, water immediately. Fertilize the seedlings with an organic, granular slow-release fertilizer.

SUMMARY:
Select containers for planting the annual seeds. Add soil to the growing containers. Plant the seeds. Choose a warm location to grow the seeds. Water the seeds every other day, or as needed. Care for the seedlings. Transplant the seedlings after the last frost date in your area.
