I wish I could add a picture - Evie girl helped me gather nettles yesterday, and then quickly abandoned that to build a wood shelter while I filled my quota. It was everything you hope for when your children venture out into the woods with you. ❤️
Looking forward to that cake recipe - I've been meaning to make one for years!
Wish I knew they were edible when I was a kid, but didn't. We had plenty to share beyond the stinging experience. Two other pain solutions: Mix water and dirt and apply the mud. In the spring, fees curled dock seeds if you have it growing near you. Another maybe would be Mullien leaves, since it is used as a police, but put cheesecloth or something similar between the skin and leaves.

So glad you sent the photo. She is having a fairy childhood.

It retyped it leaving lots of errors....sorry.
Use curly dock...
Used as a poultice
This is all such great advice. I didn't know that when I was a kid either. I likely wouldn't have eaten them though. Too green tasting. :)
I'm off to the green belt to forage dinner. Thanks for what sounds like a simple but delicious celebration of spring nettles.
Wonderful!
Ooh - that potential and unique cake sounds yummy!
I'm excited to try it! I'll report back.
