Yes. I have it every year. Treat it like spinach. Use only the young leaves. The cooking takes the sting out. It is delicious. Oh, and wear gloves while picking the leaves.0

I made a lovely soup with nettles from my garden last year but when I came to do it this year they were covered in to many crawlatty bugs and it put me off!Here dead we lie because we did not choose
To live and shame the land from which we sprung.
Life, to be sure, is nothing much to lose,
But young men think it is,
And we were young.

I would just soak them and get rid, good wash will sort that. I want to try it but the OH is going to go on and on ... will wait a bit then sneak it in when he isnt looking. They are supposed to be very high in vitamins and iron I think, will be good for him. 0
