Urtica dioica

While searching some botanical information for my magical garden I stumble upon a nettle page. Hoping they would have an efficient way to get rid of them I red the page.

While you are lucky when you find a page or 2 of decent information about an herb they had about a dozen about this grandiose plant. Suddenly I was not blind anymore. How ignorant I've been all these years. Sure, people do say that nettles are good for rheumatism and soup, but I never saw anybody made that soup, nor having rheumatism cures.

Ironically, now that I know that nettles are so useful and versatile I want more of them and have to be careful not to over harvest them. The first applications will be winter forage supplement for my sheep and next year I'll brew some of the wine and beer, this seem to be a rather nice way to enjoy the benefits of Nettles.

Quote of the week 00031

That we all know deep in our bones, but that we seem to forget in the midst of our busy, lonely, fearful, stressed, repressed, polluted, violent lives:

Pleasure Eases Pain,
Good Sex Defuses Tension,
Affection Calms Terror,
Love Lessens Violence,
Females Rule,
And You Can't Very Well Fight a War While You're Having an Orgasm.
