Heh, I just harvested a patch of nettles! Wearing leather gloves of course. We use the leaves in a tea for the common cold, along with chickweed and lemon balm, ginger, lemon and honey.
As I was putting the long stems into a paper bag and the seeds were falling to the bottom. B plans to plant some next to our echinacea in the back. The patch of lemon balm by the kitchen door is too well established to share the space with anything else.
