Stinging Nettle

Ah, the Stinging Nettle, the wonder plant of hedgerows and verges. So versatile, so many applications, a food and drink, a medicine, a fibre for clothing, a companion plant and fertilizer, a yellow dye from it's roots and a green from its leaves and finally beer. What a plant, and it grows in abundance. I've several bunches hanging drying now to be used later as an addition to meals and as a seasoning.
