Native ferns in my shade garden.
Doris: I've brought several ferns into my lawn from the woods. We have fiddle ferns up here, and they get quite large. They'll grow in sun or shade around here.
What's a fiddle fern, Weezy???

That's what we call the ferns around here, because the new leaves are curled like the top of a fiddle neck. The curled leaves, or fiddleheads have been used as a stirfry dish for a long time up here, but I can't bear to cut them off.
I think our ferns are Lady Ferns, but I'm not sure. They get quite large... three feet or more high, and they have large, impressive leaves. We also have a wispy little fern that grows all over the wooded areas like a ground cover. Both are quite nice. I'll look into it and start a thread when I get more info.
Please do, I would love to hear more about them.
