pretty big patch of nettles by the barn.<<<
Yes, do try all their uses.
I was surprised that I liked the Amaranth /pig weed family for greens better than spinach, just steam them and add butter.
Purslane I have been eating 30 years, buy the seeds at Nichols in Oregon.
There is a lot out there to learn and many of your types of plants, I will not have here.
Nettles is in the back of my mind as on the dye plant list, but I didn’t look so am not sure I am right.
I remember reading something about nettles and helping with baldness. Can’t remember if you were supposed to make a tea or what. I just remember teasing my husband about it. I’ll have to look around here and see if I can find that book. I think I would like to be more familiar with its contents these days.
