Stinging nettle (Urtica dioica) is one of our most powerful herbs we have growing here, more potent even than many of the imported so-called superfoods. She can be used in the kitchen as a vegetable and for infusions, as well as for various ailments such as muscle and joint pain and many more. Nettle grows plentifully and can be harvested CO₂ free at no cost (at least if you go by bike). I am so glad she is back.

If you want to learn how I use her in the kitchen, you can read about it here (in German).

Challenge:
To pose in a way that emphasizes the plant as well as its effect on the skin.

Sound:
Nightingales’ and blackbirds’ evening song

Lesson:
It’s ok to use the same location more than once. This one still holds endless possibilities.
