Awesome, thanks! I've just harvested a bunch of nettle leaves for the first time. I barely made the season before the flowers came and I was so mad at myself because earlier I could've harvested bags and bags of the stuff without moving an inch. It grows so thick here in Ireland. I dehydrated the leaves and have been enjoying using them like spinach in homemade backpacking meals. I'm so glad to now know that I can use the seeds too!! And you're right, that is a BEAUTIFUL baby. Much love to you both!

I am convinced that man can live to 120 without sickness or disease if he is raised in the right environment and eats the proper wild edibles. But the problem is pollution is everywhere except maybe in a few cold regions of the world but those places do not have the wild edibles.

Started growing them last year after not being able to find them. Strange because when I was a boy they were everywhere. Glad you pointed out the male vs female seed heads. Many do not. Throw away the male seed heads or as in your video, I see you used them in your fertilizer soup.

@heatherpoirier6351 Год назад

I REALLY loved your video. Very informative. Cept. How you damaged the nettle plant by cutting it. And taking all the seeds from the stalks and leaving none for them to grow more . Nor left any for the wild birds and animals that forage on those seeds themselves. Cutting the plant as you did damages it. You could have harvested some seeds from each plant . Even if theyre in your own garden, the birds were prolly looking forward to them. Just think people need to harvest reasonably. And share with the wild the fruits the plants give.

@iheartherbs Год назад

She actually didn't cut all the seeds off, I saw a few more rows of seeds below where she cut.

@Gos1234567 11 месяцев назад

FFS there are tonnes of nettles everywhere dont be such a drama queen

@cyninshadows7041 11 месяцев назад

Seriously appreciate but do NOT pity nettles! On my farm Nettles are both incredibly invasive taking over expansive patches of yards & pastures as well as ditches & woods where nothing but wild critters can get to them. also their stings cause their share of suffering to humans all summer...i have mowed them weeded them & my horses have eatten them for 30 years yet i have NEVER come close to running OUT of nettles!!

@freedomunltd 10 месяцев назад

@@cyninshadows7041Nettles might be prolific in your environs but not anymore in other places, which I have noticed in my own locality in general. Also having so many nettles means that there must be many butterflies in your location, with nettles being vital for the caterpillars of some types of butterflies, to flourish so you’re lucky! Maybe you could offer some of those patches of nettles to foragers who will make good use of them..

@ClockworkFaery Год назад

Thanks for the great info. Would they dry if they were hung up in bunches? Your baby is so cute. 👶🏻

@WoodlandClassroom Год назад

Yes they would, but the seeds may fall off if they get knocked and you don’t want to loose those precious seeds 😌

@jonschlote8639 Год назад

Interesting and informative. Can you eat seeds directly from the plant without drying?

@WoodlandClassroom Год назад

yes that's fine, they just don't keep long without being dried

@blueu1006 Год назад

Hi Lea. Thanks for your fantastic videos. We harvested some of these plants yesterday (thanks to you!) as we noticed their seeds. We took them this early as I feared the parks keepers would cut them back. Can we use the leaves for tea? I'm not sure if the flowering occurred or not. 😊

@WoodlandClassroom Год назад

Yes the younger nettle leaves, found at the tops, are the best for tea. Happy foraging and thanks for the feedback.

@markvincent5241 Месяц назад

Great stuff, would it be possible to dry out the seeds in an oven on the lowest setting.

@thegingerallotment7413 Год назад

Lovely video thank you! Could I pop the stalks in the instant pot dehydrator?

@WoodlandClassroom 11 месяцев назад

we've not tried that ourselves. Give it a go with a small amount and see what you get.

@teperikaetr 9 месяцев назад

No wonder I have never seen any seeds in my stinging nettle, and my moms plant has lots of seeds, which I collect some of her seeds.funny thing is that we bought our plants in the same place, but they didn't mention anything about male and female plants. I will be planting some of my moms stalks so I can have both.

@TS-wz4gg 8 месяцев назад

Hi just found your channel and love it! I have a bit of a silly question probably. Do I need to worry about fox’s peeing on the seeds or no? Because I know when picking berries to only pick ones high up - do I need to worry for picking these seeds near foxes?

@WoodlandClassroom 8 месяцев назад

I would just use common sense here. Pick seeds which are not directly on any path or through way for animals. If they look damaged or sodden, avoid those. You can always wash them to be extra sure but do dry them out fully before storing them otherwise they will go mouldy.

@jamesgeorge4874 11 месяцев назад

What time of year did you harvest ?

@WoodlandClassroom 11 месяцев назад

Hello it was August when we filmed this, but this year the seeds seem to be out earlier. They re good now.

HI Lisa - the seeds are typically harvested in high summer, so July to August

@jwrigley100 Год назад

What about Spring leaves? Will they cause irritation?

@WoodlandClassroom Год назад

Either heat or bruising will get rid of the stinging hairs. Blanche, cook or smash them up.

Why not use an air fryer to dehydrate the nettles just like herbs are?

interesting. We don't have one, but worth trying if you do

What do they taste like ?

@WoodlandClassroom Год назад

Not a lot really, pleasant enough, maybe a bit nutty. Used more for nutrition than taste. I like them though.

@johannapauldeninfinitivehe2942 Год назад

you say you shouldn't use the leaves? but many people use the leaves for tea every day?

@WoodlandClassroom Год назад

Yes the leaves are excellent but only if picked before the plant goes to seed. Leaves are a spring wild food where as the seeds are a summer wild food 😄
