> Steven, I'm very curious.  Why are you growing ginseng?

     The species of gineng I am growing is Panax quinquefolius, native 
from Que. to minn., s. to Ga. and Okla.  I know of only two other 
species of Panax.  I started to grow ginseng when I was discussing a 
nature area with one of the locals.  This area does not fall under 
any protection and most likely will be developed in the future.  The 
quality of this area, per other naturalists, is an 8 on a scale of 
1-10.
     The local referred me to a gentleman that used to harvest 
ginseng in this area in the 40's and 50's.  My original plan
was to re-introduce ginseng into this area, now on hold due to 
immanent development.  He gave me seeds I planted on my farm.  Since 
then most of his plants have been stolen right out of his yard.
     This plant is becoming increasingly rare and may have to be 
protected soon.  One of my goals is to use my farm as a refuge for 
local endangered plants that some day will be used in re-introduction 
projects.
