Planting ginseng in the spring

I have been told and read that 'seng is best planted in the fall. What are the oppinions of those of you that plant alot of it about spring planting?

I planted 1/2 a pound in the spring a few years ago but turkeys seemed to get most of it before it had a chance. The seed that came up seems ok.

Should I wait till September or try to find some seed to plant this spring?

I never planted any in the spring, but was always told to plant it in the fall. That is what I did and never had any trouble other than a few seeds being ate by mice. It might be hard to find seeds to plant in the spring.

I had some seed I bought late one year,I planted it while I was hunting morels
It came up fine and still doing good

I bought some one time in the spring from paul hsus, and the dang stuff had already sprouted and had tails on it. I should have sent it back, but I didn't like a dummy.

Fall is best, but having said that I have planted in the winter also. A couple of warm days when the ground is not froze is just fine. I actually have about 3 lbs. of seed right now in my fridge. Every week I add a wet towel to keep them moist and to check to make sure there not sprouting. Hopefully I can get these in the ground in the next week or 2.

If anyone needs some seed shoot me a pm.

Tim, how do you keep them from sprouting in the fridge?

Is there usually any seed available for sale in the spring and is it any cheaper?

You don't, usually get them in the ground in late Feb.

Like I said, I have some now just shoot me a pm.
