The ideal plant for soothing arthritic hands via self-flagellation. And you can eat them after you’re done.

We are just seeing the nettles rising a little higher above the grass in the pasture and LOVE nettles pesto every year at this time! Planning on making it this week.

I've yet to find any Nettles growing here. I did throw some seeds out last year. I'll have to keep an eye out to see if any will show up!

I stumbled upon some Motherwort growing in a random spot the other day! Super excited about that. :)

Thanks for another comprehensive article, Gavin. 💚

Stinging Nettle salad (baby Nettle) is a very powerful green.

Thank you for this most informative post. I appreciate being able to learn so much about different plants and their medicine. I need to see about growing some Nettle in my backyard.

Nice post on one of my favorite plants for health of humans and soils.

A wonderfully nutritive and remediating plant with many benefits, for many conditions, in both males and females. 👏👏🤗
