What a great video! I like how you compared the "before" cooking amount with the "after" 1/4 cup, and say to pick a LOT of them. Have a great spring foraging season. We are still in late winter over here in Oregon.
We had a mild, almost snowless winter but i'm eager to see the greens return. Thank you for taking the time to comment on many of my videos. I thoroughly enjoy your channel and have subscribed to it.
I haven't tried wood nettle yet but stinging nettle is my favorite forageable plant to eat. Once they come up on my property, I try to eat them daily as they are so delicious and nutritious! There is a way to not get stung. It all depends how to handle the plant. The hairs only stick out in one direction towards the point at the end of the leaf. If the stroke the leaf toward the point it will not sting u. You can rip off individual leaves this way and even eat the raw if folded or rolled into a ball. I watched it on UA-cam and it works! But for collecting enough for dinner you will want gloves and scissors!
It is wonderful see you again. As always, this video is loaded with valuable information. Thank you and now off to seek something in my forest back yard.
Sugaring season is here early--for me, that's the signal of upcoming Spring... Been busy editing inside; looking forward to getting outside, now that days are lengthening.
Now I know for certain which plants in my side yard are nettle. (I trust you more than Google.) You are a treasure. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge.
At this point they may be going to seed. They grow tall and if you happen to bump into one you'll know you've discovered the right plant! Make note of their location and return in the spring to gather young shoots.
Happy spring. Glad to see new video.
I'm glad to finally to post a new one!

Guess I'm a coward--I always use gloves...except when I rinse the leaves (before I quick-cook them)--the water seems to tame them...

Yay! I've missed your videos! 💚 I'll definitely be watching after work. Hope all is well with you and yours!
I'm doing fine--I've used the winter to edit upcoming videos so they'll be more to come;--next up up in April: Hawthorn Trees
I remember my father, my sister and my cousin picking these during a brown out. My cousin got "burnt" by one but they made a nice tea
I discovered these later in life but I'm glad i did because they extend the Nettle season once the Stinging ones have gone to seed.
Quality content as always, love you blanche!
Thank you, thank you!--much appreciated...

The stings are also a good giveaway that the plants are Nettles!
Absolutely Love your videos.
I 'm pleased you like them.I hope they inspire you to check out new plants.
I think i have these on the property! Ill have to do some further investigation. But again so thorough! Thank u❤

Just great! And, you are beautiful! Love
Thank you so much!!
I'm wondering if it's more practical to just plant the seeds instead of eating them?
The seeds are quite small --often they plant themselves (there are so many of them.)
