i’m taking nettle seeds home to spain from finland. been making food and string out of them while i’m here at my partner’s. mostly using the seeds for food rather than the leaves, so far. though maybe some nettle soup would be nice before we go.
they do in theory grow natively in spain, but i haven’t been able to find any where i live so seeds it is.
i do hope that no overzealous airport staff think it’s weed.
90% of the British countryside is nettles.
Every year on every public bridle path in the country it’s like a battle against the triffids when you get that one week of sunshine combined with heavy rains and suddenly every single path in the country is overgrowin with 15feet tall monster nettle bushes. The councils deploy the cutters but it’s always slow.
Our nettle response preparation is better than our snow response.
