That's awesome! Yea my family are all from the east coast and absolutely love fiddleheads. When my dad came to the island he was disappointed they were so much harder to find here. Thank you for sharing, I love hearing people's experiences. And thank you for watching my friend! Cheers!

Haha aw man that does suck. We've had a super late start compared to previous years but I see some places just getting into spring. Thanks for all your support my friend, Cheers!!

I'm sure it is quite different in your area max. I would be excited to see what kind of wild edibles are available where you are. Much more desert like. Thanks for watching my friend Cheers !

I don't know... I may have to look into that. 😀

Yes they are abundant there. Just gotta make sure your getting one of the few edible ferns. Thanks for watching! Awesome to have someone that's been here before! Cheers!

Thanks Eldon! They are very tastey, just be sure what your picking is what you think it is. I hope you find some also and get a chance to try them! Thanks for the support! Cheers!

I know eh! They were sooo Good!

Thank you for watching and for your continued support my friend. They were amazing. Do you get them in your area? Cheers!

Thanks brother! I would love to see what kind of wild edibles you have in your area.

@@funonvancouverisland how come some lady fern is red and other is not ? how i wish u have a video cof detail comparison between ostrich and lady fern.

@@andrewyek thanks for watching! If I get a chance this month I will do that! Cheers!

@@andrewyek the redness in the stem is caused by a lack of water early in its life. They are harder and Less pleasant to eat but not poisonous.

They were great. Been at least 15 years for myself also. Thanks for the support brother! Cheers!

Wow! What a score! Good for you folks, and how cool is that you found them right in your back yard 😃 thank you muchly for the kind words also I really appreciate it. Happy foraging! Cheers

Fun On Vancouver Island thank you, I really enjoyed your video! Yep, pretty lucky to find them , I feel pretty blessed here.

Thanks Lorelei! I don't know if you would want that lol thanks for watching and for your kind comment. Cheers!

Really?? So cool!! I love hearing stories from around the world about what wild edibles they have and what they call them. Thanks for all the support my friend!

Really? That's interesting to know. I would have thought they would be abundant where you are brother. They were very tasty! Cheers!

Lol. someone likes fiddleheads? Thanks for watching!

Better then 711 chilli and cheese

English second language?

Hey, right on! Did you get a chance this year?

@@funonvancouverisland negative 😔 didnt get a chance but next year I know a few good spots. looking forward to another vid 👀 ✌

@@bushisback112 thanks for the update John I hope it works out next year, thanks for the support!

I believe they are classified as weeds, but many species are used widely in indoor and outdoor gardens. They are easier to find on the east coast of Canada but can be found around my parts. They taste almost exactly like spinich and are very good with butter and salt. You don't have fiddleheads in the UK?? I didn't know that. Our forests can be similar in ecology in areas. Thanks for watching my friend, Cheers lee!

Fun On Vancouver Island well we might :-) I will have to check but never seen these.

They actually grow all over the island. It's best to not take a chance if you're not 100 percent sure though. Although the reaction would likely be minimal if cooked thoroughly and eaten in small amounts, best to be safe. Thanks for watching! 😀

Well that is a fantastic way of explaining that identifying feature! I will be sure to use that one going forward. Thanks !

That's unfortunate. They should be in your area, they seem to be more abundant as you head east. In some of the areas I've seen you walking it looks like prime location for it. They like shade, moist very rich soil from my experience. Thanks for watching my friend, Cheers!

I look every year. They are very much here. One day I'll find them

Thanks for the comment! Many fern stocks vary in color from green to purple, everything from temperature to nutrient deficiencies can cause the change in color. The ferns that I was picking did not have hairs on them. It feels like parchment paper and flakes off easily when rubbed. Very delicious treat from the woods, goes well on a BBQ steak 😃 Like I said in the video though, I am no expert and everyone should do their own research. Just sharing the knowledge I have gained growing up here. Cheers my friend and happy picking!

@@funonvancouverisland thx for your reply too. Cheers

@@midspan28 oh man I thank you greatly for all your interaction. If you watched the video you see that I put a correction on the screen saying they are lady ferns not ostrich ferns. The day I get sued for telling people to do their own research would be quite the day. Cheers!
