I almost missed fiddlehead season but was able to get out Sunday and collect a few that were still curled up tight.

I’ve heard there are a few edible species but we only harvest the ostrich fern, Matteuccia struthiopteris. I love them lightly battered and fried (after blanching) or pickled to go in bloody marys.

That’s a bummer. I was worried we’d find the same and almost did. One warm spell and they just shoot up.

I waited one day too long I think. Our yard is always behind the rest of the neighborhood. I think it just jumped up from the warm day
