  1. Stinging nettles really are a great nutritional gem, and the tea is wonderful. I like using them because I get a sort of revenge for all the times I’ve been “stung” while weeding! Lovely photographs!

  2. Fascinating! And to think, I look past nettles all the time. Who knew they had such benefits?

    Well, you did, obviously, and now, after reading your article, the rest of us do too!
