“Oh yes! Stinging Nettle Pasta. Stinging Nettles. I really don’t like these things. They grow really tall and threaten to sting me while picking blackberries or walking through my forest.
There is a HUGE area of them that cover almost half of the lower east side of our property (about an acre). We were told the only remedy is broad spectrum herbicide or cutting before they go to seed. Since we are not fans of herbicideing an acre of natural Pacific Northwest Forest, we opted to wait till late spring to cut them down before seeding.
Nettles are edible. Oh yes, and apparently good for you. Go figure…”
