My stinging nettle seedlings are looking good. I’m so excited! The amaranth seed heads are looking good too after a summer of growth. Both are excellent additions to the pig food. Next step, bring them both to scale! #homestead

Nice! I’ve never been successful seeded stinging nettles the few times that I have in the past.

Any advice?

Stinging nettle is a mistake! Lol

How so? It cooks into such goodness! Also I plan to use it as a wild hog fence for the garden. Sensitive nose and stinging plant equals good gardening. I hope it helps keep the voles out too!

Seems like decent idea, but spreads, and your skin will be in contact with it at some point

Been there, it isn’t so bad, besides compared to the poison oak we have here it’s pretty ephemeral pain. Ever had urushiol on your scrotum? I have. O. M. G. 😝

Luckily no, but I do have an uncle who pissed on an electric fence

Ouch. My cousin did that with me standing nearby. He ran so fast, and didn’t zip, just zap and gone!

Or labia as the case may be….lol.

Only a few times on other parts of the body ;)
