Planted another pound of seed today. That's it for this season, just a pound and a half total. We'll see how (if) it comes up in the spring.

Stratified American Ginseng seed... you can see where some of the seeds are beginning to split, revealing the embryo inside.. In seed vernacular, this is referred to as "grinning"


View looking down the hillside where I will plant...about 4.5 hours in clearing the undergrowth, preparing the seed "runs", planting, and finally mulching with leaves...


Another shot looking down the hill, showing some of the runs. There are two more off to the left, already planted and mulched... no ground prep, aside from raking back the leaves and scratching up the soil surface..


"Forget pounds and ounces, I'm figuring displacement!"

If we accept that: MBG(+)FGSF(=)HBG(F1)
And we surmise that: BG(>)HBG(F1) while GSF(<)HBG(F1)
Would it hold true that: HBG(F1)(+)AM500(x)q.d.(=)1.5lbGRWT?
PB answer: It depends.
