He said I could do anything I want there so I've taken over that space even though it's really late in the year I can still get some. Greens out of it. And if for some Horrible reason i'm still here next year the garden will be a good shape to start early. I have some of the best seeds that anybody could ever want. I can start them early if need be. Let's hope it's in my own place though. Again thank you for caring there is nobody left to do that around here.

Stinging nettle is an incredible plant, and I appreciate these videos that put it in a positive light ❤️ although I understand the concerns surrounding it, because it can definitely cause some damage if you don't know what you're doing

We use it in balkan pastry called Zeljanica. We use it instead of spinach and tastes amazing.

I've used the top two leaves off of stinging nettles in my slag bowl & chilli con carne for years as the nutrition of nettles is so high & they're delicious 🥰 Thank you for the new ideas to use these wonderful plants in.

We use dried nettle for tea and nettle soup here in Norway. Super nice and heatlhy.

Love seeing your videos, keep it up!

You can use the tincture diluted in water as it helps for many things. It could potentially improve hair regrowth, anti inflammatory, improve your vascular system and much more. However, like many other things which are not owned and commercialised by big pharmas, there are not enough studies to prove this claims.

​@@SpicyMoustache look into finding translated text from China and India. They have more recent studies on the positive effects of natural medicine. Also just to note Big pharma was built upon scientists finding the chemicals in plants that are responsible for healing and then they take that information and find a way to do it in a lab so they can patent it. Also i love your channel I dint remember how i found it but i love it.

Theres a town in Croatia named after this plant (Kopriva in Croatian). Its called Koprivnica, we bake and make all kinds of food from this plant, its amazing. From tea, soup to even beer. Also you can use it to spray other plants against bugs by leaving it in water for a few days, but it stinks a lot. When I was little my dad used to say if i get stinged by kopriva and it hurts it means you are very healthy and will stay that way. The plant is really useful and amazing!

Stinging nettles are also a host species for insects, including several species of butterflies 🦋. A nice plant to keep in the garden

Here in Michigan and other parts of the usa we have stinging nettles that are a different species called slender stinging nettle (Urtica gracilis) instead of what people used to think they were, which is common stinging nettle (Urtica dioica) and they are an important native perennial here so not all stinging nettles are invasive depending on the species and location.

You have given me a whole new perspective on life and foods...thank you very much sir!! ❤💯

My grandma makes tea of nettles, anyway, in Poland Nettle Tea is very common drink among old people, and young also. It's some sort of medicament and you even buy it in pharmacy store.

Stinging nettle is native to europe

I have walked through these so many times that they are just a fun little suprise now.

As a east european child, I can remember two things about nettle: 1 is nettle borscht (traditional slavic beetroot soup, but with nettle greens - so delicious!), and secondly - hitting nettle bushes with a huge stick as a form of countryside entertainment for kids 😂

People used to make nettle tea during the Great Famine in Ireland

I would be more impressed if I saw him actually use the strings. In the Netherlands we make stinging nettle soup traditionally, its quite good.

The seeds are very good for you! I think they give me greater concentration and also make my hair shinier 😊
