chicks...

I use a camera.

Bought my wife a nice new camera last year and I now use her old one for ginseng trips and photos.

It is not real big, fits in a compartment in my fanny-pack but is easy to take pics with, has a flower mode that works well on close shots.

Thanks for the comments all.

Billy - I hear ya on those keeper roots. Those two will not make it to the dealer - I will be keeping those to eat myself.

It has been very dry here for 3-4 weeks, starting to look bad, but last night thru this morning around 8:30 it came a good slow rain.

Just what we needed.

After the rain letup I made a round down in the woods where I had transplanted some nice roots for seed production and I planted several nice red berries off them. Some of them were quite yellow and starting to lay over already.

I also made a short trip out and down a hollow that Cole and I hunted last year. There was one place where we found a nice little patch of decent 3 prongers (decent for this place anyway) and I went down to check that spot again. And as I suspected there were 6-7 seng plants up in that same area.

I harvested 4 of them. Nothing big, just average to smallish 3 prongers. They just do not get big in this hollow no matter how old. I have dug em 30-40 years old in this hollow and they are still 8-10\" average to smallish 3 prongers.

Here's the 4 that I harvested this morning. Most are in the 12-15 year old range, but that one in the top right is right around 20 by my count.

A few more for the drying rack.

Got Family stuff to do the rest of the day but I did get out in the woods some and it sure was nice after that rain.

Hope you all have a nice weekend !

Hey Chicks... check out the post below for a good example of what you have to do to post pics on the board.

If you have the pics in your email, you will need to save them from your email to your computer hard drive (in some folder) and then you may have to re-size them before you can post. The max image size that you can post is something like 800x800. The post below gives some good examples.
