Taken all this time to stop and tend this nettle bed of a post - and so many echoes from here in 'Dandelions' Rest' where my veteran caravan Lady M is sited. She sits among a field of nettles, mown to provide a track (again) last Saturday and now boasting her edible young new growth. Yes, like you she kisses me and there is more to be said. But for now, only a Big Thank You and a timely one as stir-fried nettles shall be consumed over the weekend.
I miss nettles! They don't grow naturally here in New Zealand, not the hot stinging variety. I must get some seeds! What a beautiful, comprehensive piece. Superb writing, packed with information and hope. Thank you! x
Natasha- I love how you’ve centered the entire piece around nettles. Such a lovely and keen concept. I enjoyed it tremendously.

Just awesome. Thank you for helping me get to know Nettle!
There's a healthy dose of nettle in me, too. :)
