The Wonders of Nature.

Me and Mike have been doing a good bit of root digging here lately.  The woods are full of roots that can bring a few extra bucks to the house hold.  Been digging blood root, yellow root, Black Coewash, and wild yam.  We are spotting Ginseng as we dig and will be going back this fall to dig it once we are allowed to.  It is shocking but we are making about 40-60 bucks a every day that we dig.  The best part is that we are not actually gone all day we are only out for around 4 to 5 hours.  The woods this year are loaded if yam and yellow root.  Blood is abundant in a lot of places too.  The only down side is we are not seeing very much Ginseng.  Right here close to home people have just dug it to much and have really hurt the amount that is around.  Most start digging it in June and sell it illegally to people for like 40 bucks a green pound just to get money for pills and that is not letting it go to seed.  We are going to take a day and go dig an area that we figure as has been hit and see how much Ginseng is there while digging the others.  I am saving my money up and going to get a good milk cow this fall if I don't have one before then and if I have already gotten one then that is just some more money for the farm in general.  The rain is still keeping a lot of the farm work from taking place and it is starting to get to me but that's life in the country and I should be use to it by now.
