Morning Folks,
I had a few hundred seed left from the last pound I bought and planted a nice little spot yesterday morning and made a 2 part video (posted to youtube - links below).
Man - yesterday sure was a nice day here in Middle TN. It started out in the low 40's and was bright and sunny all day and by mid afternoon we hit the low 70's - sure felt like spring !
That little place I planted - just up the hollow about 20 yards in the same location (just where the hillside meets the hollow bottom) there are 12-14 wild seng plants and I harvested 2 nice 3 prongs from that patch last year. This is the same hollow that I have done the large majority of my planting in this fall/winter (a bit over 3 lbs seed planted now).
Going to order anotehr pound soon and get some more seed planted. Will probably keep at that until late Feb (as long as the seed I am buying continues to look good.) This last batch I bought from wildgrown.com and it looked great. I could not really tell any difference in it and the seed that I purchased late October.
Anyway - I looked all over youtube and could not find anyone showing how to plant gingeng using wild-simulated methods so I made a 2 part video and posted it showing how I plant with my double rake & scatter method.
They uploaded yesterday evening and this moring one has 11 views already. Perhaps some folks out there will get interested and start planting seng and these video's will help a bit.
Hope so.
