i went out to see how the seng looks ....in my area of central il it looks bad........it's wilted something awful and the leaves have started falling off.

even the goldenseal is all laid over.

if we get some very heavy rain the seng will be quite difficult to find this year because the rain could very well knock down whats left.

Is it turning yellow yet?

a few plants are rob........but the majority of them are still green but wilted somethin awful.

I noticed everything was wilted bad last time I was out.Makes it even harder for a green horn like me.

Getting real bad around here to. The temps have been at 100 for yesterday and today and getting close to that saturday. Nothing will stop the damage on seng now. If it is wilted and drooping, then it will more than likely be gone within a couple weeks or sooner. Rain will be your worst enemy now, even though you think we need it and we do. Rain will knock the dang plants right down once they get wilted and start drying out. I have seen years that seng would actually dry out green. The goldenseal has also had it.

yepper don..........i'm not sure how things are everywere else.......but it looks like a limited harvest here in my neck of the woods.

Some seng here has already died back for the year.Low seed production here also this season.To dang dry...The blue cohosh and trillums went down fast this season also.Just south of me those guys seem to be better off than my area.They just got more rain over the summer...

Found a little bit of Seng today. I could only find it because I knew exactly where it was. It was wilted something horrible.

Ours in Northern Iowa loooks REALLY good! Lots of berries. Lots of green turning some yellow in the really dark areas!

i found a lil bit today,,,,,,,,prbably dry up to about a 1/4 pound............but alot of the leaves have fallen off of some and alot of it is layin down...........i don't think theres gonna be alot of seng dug in illinois this year.

looking pretty good in my neck of the woods, dug 125 big 3's and 4's today before the rain(monsoon) started again.

found about 25 plants this week. Plants look good and good berries but doing alot of walking to find it. Going to go to a good spot tomorrow, hope for the mother lode.

Seng is spotty in my area. Some places is good, some are terrible. Depends on if the woods had a rain or two fall on it that other areas didn't get. Funny thing is, I have one big farm that I hunt that the woods are in good shape, but the seng is rather scarce in the woods. I find about 40 pieces each morning I hunt. To me, that is very poor seng hunting. Good hunting mornings will often produce 2 lbs. of seng and on super good hunts 4lbs or better. Average hunting days will produce about 1 lb in a 4 hour hunt. The bigger numbers are durring good hunting years. My son and his friend found 4 lb. monday in about 6 hour hunt.

are those green weights don?
