facilitate. To quicken, in the sense here considered, is to increase speed, move or cause to move more rapidly, as through more space or with, a greater number of motions in the same time. To accelerate is to increase the speed of action or of motion. A motion whose speed increases upon itself is said to be accelerated, as the motion of a falling body, which becomes swifter with every second of time.
Fiddlehead sculpture at the Saint John Arts Centre by sculptor Jim Boyd in Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada.Fiddleheads or fiddlehead greens are the furled fronds of a young fern, harvested for use as a vegetable.Left on the plant, each fiddlehead would unroll into a new frond (circinate vernation).See bracken poisoning). The fiddlehead resembles the curled ornamentation (called a scroll) on the end of a stringed instrument, such as a violin. It is also called a crozier, after the curved staff used by bishops, which has its origins in the shepherd's crook.
Because different kinds of ferns can provide you with fiddleheads, you can choose the one that will grow best in your region. Some of the most common are the ostrich fern, cinnamon fern, royal fern and the vegetable fern. Not all ferns produce edible fiddleheads.Make sure you are growing one that you can eat before you start picking. In North America, the most popular one is the ostrich fern. It can survive winters up to zone 3 and heat to zone 9.erns should be planted early in the spring, but after the last frost has passed. When the first sprouts come up after planting, do not harvest any fiddleheads. Let the plant grow untouched for the first year and start picking the next spring.
