Wow,didn't know you can eat them! They are a horrible weed problem in my backyard. I just wacked them down a few days ago but they grow fast. If you don't find any soon then let me know and I'll see if I can get you some when they grow back in a week or so. OUCH, LOL!

An herbalist but that is not what pays the bills. My own interests put me on the plant-side of herbalism, growing, identification, harvesting, wildcrafting, stewardship, etc. I do visit this forum, but the Herbs, Name that Plant, Natives, and Woodland forums are where I usually spend my time. The Herbs forum is a nice one for the plant-side of herbalism, including medicinal herbs though culinary herbs are most often discussed. FataMorgana

daisy - Thanks. I have a spot I think they'll like, where I can keep an eye on them. If I looked hard enough, I could probably find some growing nearby. I tried that last year, and thought I had some. But when I went to collect it, it didn't sting. So wrong weed. I don't want them to take over, so I'll be cutting them back regularly. I want to make sure I have a way to remove them in the future though, before I plant. Someone posted a while back that they would eventually give up if I kept mowing them.

I have stinging nettles how to get the seeds, what are they used for
