Urtica Dioica

Yay! The #stingingnettle I planted last year, which I thought had died, has come back this spring! 23 Apr 2022 #urtica-dioica #edible #ediblelandscaping

Set some aside for drying for tea. It's the best medicine available anywhere for hives, or if you have 1,000,000 mosquito bites 🦟

Mosquito bites? What do you do Eileen? Grind it up into a paste? @emch

Make tea out of it or swallow it in capsules. 3 capsules 3x a day and you feel almost human again

After some rain and some rest, it seems that the #stingingnettle is starting to establish itself in its new spot. #urtica-dioica #nettle #native #nativeplant #edible #eattheweeds #medicinal #101uses #ediblelandscaping 30 Apr 2021

So lovely that they established themselves so quickly. Thank you for posting this, reminded me to take a photo of mine. It tended to dominate last year so I transferred it all to a pot, (and last year also moved my white violets where nettle used to be, thank you for commenting).

Yeouch! #stingingnettle #urtica-dioica #medicinal #native #nativeplant #edible #101uses 27 Apr 2021 #spiky #spikes

I did it! I dug up a big chunk of #stingingnettle from a local wild patch and hauled it back to my yard and planted it. Only two stings. #urtica-dioica #medicinal #native #nativeplant #edible #101uses 27 Apr 2021
