I loveeeeee watching those uncurl...
They are so much fun to watch..
I get the boys to watch them,
Of course they look at me like I have 3 heads..
but I know they are peakin' at them...

Nice frog too!!!

That is really cool to see! I think I need some of them!

Here in Maine, they saute those curled up ferns in butter and eat them. They call them fiddleheads, I'm not sure what kind of fern though.
Has anyone else heard of that??? :rolleyes:

YEP - they had them for sale in the big indoor farm in NJ just the other day. Pretty expensive though.

Chef Emeril Lagasse did a whole show on them this past week on the cooking channel - looked very interesting.

I was told a long time ago that the young fiddleheads of Bracken Ferns were edible and tasty when fried in butter. I tried them once, and thought they were very bitter tasting. ICK! :p

The article I linked to says that eating them may cause cancer...

That last picture is awesome!

How in the world do you keep all your gardens weeded?

The secret is that I never show you the gardens that haven't been weeded. Weeding is a never ending battle here! I hate weeds!

Oh! I get it now!

Beautiful photos Bill:)
