I was treated to garlic Yarg yesterday, the nettles on them were fresh green and very good!

Nor me, had Cornish Yarg and it's very good, keep meaning to make some nettle soup but have never got round to it. Hughs Stinger beer is nice. |

Are white dead nettle good for anything or does it have to be proper stinging nettles? |

Thanks, Paul.
I know the bees love it, I just wondered if it supported any catties. |

I lent on one last Sunday while photographing a sloe bug. No need to slap my wrist as the nettle did that at the time! It still itches a bit even now...

I am always getting stung by nettles when trying to get close for macro shots of flowers etc. I am so busy looking for the next shot I hardly take any notice of the sting I think I am becoming immune to it  |
