TOPIC: 15.3 oz today - found some 4 prongs - decent first trip

Way to go TN! Nearly a pound on the first trip out is pretty good:woohoo: . I'm chomping at the bit to get to go dig some. 11 more days:(

Billy and 5prong - it was a good first trip - very pleased.

greencountydigger - I did a image search online and found a couple of images of jewel weed. Most that you find online will show it with a little orange flower but that must happen earlier in the year because the jewel weed I found yesterday had no blooms on it. I expect that may happen in the spring or earlier in the summer.

This first one below shows some with the lil orange bloom.

Below is a pic of a big patch of it. When I found it in the woods yesterday it was growing right beside the creek and was in a big patch somewhat like that.



If it has been raining or there is dew on the leaves or you splash some water up on it, the water that remains on the leaves will bead up and make shiney little balls. I think that is why it is called \"jewel\" weed.

You can see that some on the patch above.

Also the stem on the plant is quite easy to smash with your fingers and is just full of a greenish sap that you can easily squeeze out.

Nice seng pics guys,
I went to one of my wild seng spots today to check on the berries. I can't believe it, I was in a corner of the woods that I rarely go into not too far from my wild seng patch that has over a hundred big old 4's. Much to my surprise I found a spot with 30 big ones all with in a 20 foot by 20 foot area.
Some were huge 4 prongs. Here is a pic below of a nice 4 prong growing right up through the middle of an even bigger 4 prong. Can't wait to get the remaining berries off them in a week when they get ripe and plant them.
