Mysterious Ginseng

Ginseng has always
mystified me. My earliest
recollections of this
peculiar herb are linked
to my grandfather who
was raised in the hills of
Tennessee where “digging
sang” was an important
source of
supplemental income.
I recall walking
through the woods
with him, digging
up the roots which
later would be
dried and sold at astounding prices. Unfortunately, I was never
able to consistently spot the distinctive pattern of leaves when
searching for this plant, which only added to the mystery.
