The best time to plant ginseng is from mid-April to early June each year, because the temperature at this time can be maintained above 5 degrees, and the light and humidity are relatively suitable, which is conducive to the vigorous growth of ginseng. When planting ginseng, the specific sowing time needs to be determined according to local weather conditions.
