My husband said there should be alot of ginseng in Virginia.It grows better in
an area with deep woods.It grows on hillsides it has five leaves,red berries
usually in the middle of it. There are certain times when you can legally dig it
tho.It is August here.

Hi Donna, wow that does sound like fun. I wish I had someone who would help
me initially to identify it. I live in Front Royal, VA and just can't find
anyone who will help me get started in this wonderful adventure. I guess I
understand that they don't want to share their location. However, how does
one like me get started. I have looked in the 300 acre track that I'm
allowed to be on, to no avail. It must be there, but who knows how to find
it.

Is there anyone who would be willing to go with me here or giv eme any
starter tips. Thanks

Carol

Hi,
I am new to the group. I am a ginsenger.My hubby introduced me to it
last year and at first I have to admit I didn't look forward to going
out and walking that much.I didn't like the long steep hills,and the
long days it took.When we got our first check I was hooked and it
wasn't really that bad walking.The best day we had we broke down on I-
70 and had to walk to get help, we had run out of gas.We had the
choice to walk thru the woods or take the highway, my husband let me
decide and yes, I did decide to go thru the woods.We found about two
pounds of it.It was a very profitable walk. We like to eat the
ginseng root for energy too.I am looking forward to going this year.
Happy Hunting to all.
Donna
