I have to find a place close to Cookstown next year! Timing is of the essence in getting them! Misfish seem to be top dog here!

Yep, they're early, unopened, fern fronds. Not for me though, veggies and I don't get along too well, all the water and fibre aggravate my IBS. But they are popular, here's a Wikipedia story about fiddleheads.

 

Looking at pictures you can see how they got their nickname.

You can still get them. They are behind. Many clumps havent even started to sprout.

They are definitely behind this year. I have some up close to the house, but along the river they are not showing yet. Probably after this week though.

Hi ya Mr.B.

 

I am finding the one,s that get the sun, are done now. Got to get in where the shade and cold nights are keeping them slow growing.
