Re: Ginseng

Stephen - Last fall I received a few Ginseng seeds to test for a large seed
company.   The seeds were dry and hard and had been completely cleaned of
any outer material.  I placed them in moist paper toweling and put them in
the frige - not the freezer.  I checked them every so often, nothing
happened till around March this year.  Four of the 6 seeds had begun to
germinate and I planted them and grew them on out in the corner of the
woods nearby.  They did very well - until I forgot to water them in hot
summer and they died.  My fault.  Anyway, I think it's worth it for you to
treat at least some of your seeds to the damp-towel-in-a- plastic-bag
method.  Germination took less than 6 mos. that way.
