(Not to mention that yours are not even eatable!) Fiddleheads should be picked in early spring when only several inches of green are sticking out of the ground. At that time the tops are curled up and somewhat resemble the carved end of a fiddle.

I always say WHAT COMES AROUND GOES AROUND. Well if she did eat them & got sick she deserved it maybe next time she will think twice about doing something like that.

I wonder what prompted her to do such things... do console yourself thinking that you are in a much better place than she is... I would have done something drastic, I know. God bless you for being so non-violent!!! Gosh!

One hopes that the lady will think twice if she ever ventures near your garden again. I’ve often seen people picking fruit off trees.

I have to laugh as we've said we'd do just about ANYTHING for fiddleheads when they are in season! But I think I'd pause for sure when someone tells me I"m in their garden and please back off! I don't know what it is in our society that when confronted with our mistakes we get belligerent and defensive instead of saying "sorry!". Is it wrong to say that I kinda hope she tried to eat them. A tummy ache might cure her of trespassing! Enjoying your blog very much! Maria/Maine Oh, boy. I have to laugh as we’ve said we’d do just about ANYTHING for fiddleheads when they are in season!
