If you don't want to learn Spanish, don't. I'd be happy if more Americans would learn English, math, science, geography, . . .
I'm trying to learn Spanish after having failed at German, French & Slovak. I'm terrible at learning languages, but I'd love to know another one. I'm having an easier time with Spanish, so far, probably because I hear it so much in this area and my daughter has had a few years of it in school already.
As for ginseng, the actual topic here, I've seen it grown in Wisconsin, where all kinds of off-the-wall crops seem to be grown. The cultivated form isn't as valuable as the wild, because it grows faster and is less concentrated in whatever ginseng supposedly has. I'm not positive what soil it was grown in, but am pretty sure it was the same sand that central Wisconsin has in abundance. And it's under shade cloth that's even heavier than what's used for the shade tobacco grown here & Massachusetts.
