The #stingingnettle #Urtica #dioica is widespread in Eurasia and requires #nitrogenrich #soils. It is #habitat for numerous organisms, such as #caterpillars of the #peacockbutterfly. All parts are #edible and rich in #vitamins/#minerals, as well as pharma-effective. In their #review, F. Martz & S. Kankaanpää (2025) summarize knowledge about the #roots, their functioning and #biochemistry.

"Never take the first plant you find, as it might be the last - and you want that first one to speak well of you to the others of her kind." - Robin Wall Kimmerer, Braiding Sweetgrass.

So TIL the plant that grew in the pot I seeded with spearmint seeds isn't actually spearmint.
It turns out it's actually stinging nettle. RIP. Found out the hard way. Tried to rub a leaf for a smell and got a sharp stabby pain in my finger. 😬
