  1. I know it was doomed but I miss the era of the community stinging nettle patch next to the Wark Park children's playground

  2. Red admiral (Vanessa atalanta).

    "The primary host plant for the red admiral is the stinging nettle"

    So all those nettles in the garden have a purpose, too. Feeding these guys, when they're all hairy and crawly.

  3. Two things I am very good at:
    1) growing nettles
    2) getting stung by nettles.

    Got stung five hours ago on the pad of my thumb on one hand and the back of my two smallest fingers on the other and they are still incredibly painful. Always surprises me how potent nettles are.

    On the plus side, they are great for wildlife, make excellent compost and plant food, and really delicious soup. #allotment #nettles #ow

  4. Mornin’ or Good Afternoon depending on where you’re at…

    Nettle.

    You may see a sting.
    But we see…
    Butterfly food (food for butterflies that is…not #butterflies as food…no we don’t eat butterflies here!🙄).
    Bird food. (Same as above!)
    Natural plant fertiliser.
    Soup.

    Yay #nettles!

  5. today, I be do EXPERIMENT from garden:

    I be pluck some stinging nettle tops and small leaf, and make food from! (I also dig out as much of root as can, because is part of garden we want be able walk barefoot. is soooooo many root! very tenacious plant)

    I not put picture of food, because look ugly. but taste good! 😋🍃

    I wash nettle, then boil a bit. now no longer sting!
    then I cut into small bits. if have blender, I be blend, but not have. I add salt, pepper, garlic powder, lots oil and little lemon juice (the cheap one from plastic lemon). I also add crushed sunflower seeds. I use mortar and pestle, because not have no blender. but it ok, it more work, but I be like have some small crunchy bit still. like crunchy peanut butter, but sunflower!

    is be like pesto, only be differ. I be eat together of pasta.

    is very nommy! Nam! 😋

  6. My superpower is getting stung by nettles down at my allotment.
    Not sure how Marvel are going to slot this into their cinematic universe but that’s why they get the big bucks.
    On the upside, it’s nettle soup season.

  7. #Lenten Stuff - a #16thCentury #ballad by William Elderton.
    From MS Ashmole 48.

    A good description of #Lent in Tudor England, with complaints (among other things) about an excess of #fish, #leeks and #nettles. It also mentions the traditional figure of #JackaLent, a stuffed effigy, usually made of straw, which was dragged through the streets during Lent, and burned on #PalmSunday.
