Siding Suggestion Needed

Sorry Mike, no still, but I do have a few Morel mushrooms on the front of the hill. In the right market, they might bring in more money than shine. The last roadside seller that I saw was getting nearly $20 per pound for them.

No Ginseng around those parts?...it goes for $800 LB (not as light as Morels either)

It looks like Elliot Ness was going after the wrong stuff!

We used to have a lot of Ginseng, but with the prices in recent years, it is getting harder to find. We have a limited season on the stuff, with state law requiring the replanting of the berries in the dig spot of the parent plant, but I'm afraid that the state may need to put a bit of a tighter wrap on the digging. I really hope that I'm wrong on that one though.

The deer around us do a great job at wiping out plants. I saw my first one last year, i went back to get a piece of fence to put around it and when i got back it was just a small stock with no leaves.
Speaking of the houses with shingles on the sides, we had a lot of old coal mine company homes like that, wood with those on the sides the houses outlasted the owners. But there was no resale value, the house was demoed and the lots sold off.
