DaisyI said:Our west coast nettle is Urtica dioica, a native that seems to grow world wide. Apparently it is edible and has medicinal value. My only experience with nettles is accidently walking into them before realizing what I was walking into.
Kevin, when you said they were a pain, my first thought was "yes, very painful".
Do y'all have dock leaves growing over your side of the pond? ironically they grow over here near by nettles and are good for rubbing on your sting when being stung by nettles.
