Some tasty stinging nettle soup, with some pumpkin seed oil and nuts and seeds. Delicious.

On a whim, made #arugula *Eruca vesicaria sativa) #tea. Similar to #StingingNettle tea. Doesn't seem to be a normal use for it, but I guess it works.
* ps. not recommended, unless you enjoy welts on your arms, LOL. #StingingNettle is a LOT less mean when it's cooked.
Springtime stinging nettle.

Lessons from this: 1. the thin nitrile gloves I have are not stinging nettle proof, 2. stinging nettle tea tastes much like spinach tea. 3. Stinging nettles also a bit astringent, like spinach. You can apparently just eat the stinging nettles like spinach, too. #StingingNettle
"Oh, Charlotte," chided Maud, "Haven't you heard the saying, 'Not all who wander are #LOST?'"
"I beg your pardon," declared Charlotte, aghast.
"What are these #Plants if not lost? Did we not agonize over these edges? And are you really going to let the likes of #Periwinkle & #Mint tyrannize these borders?
I'd say not."
Maud hid her smile. When it came to the #Garden, she was the more relaxed. But she couldn't resist playing the #StingingNettle with her sister.

First #microscopy post from my #Pollen reference collection, here we go...
Tender-handed, stroke a nettle,
And it stings you for your pains.
Grasp it like a man of mettle,
And it soft as silk remains.
This little guy is #Urtica diocia, better known as #StingingNettle.
It is found all over the world in mild and temperate climates and has a long history of use as a source of traditional medicine, food, tea, and textile raw materials.
