Dispatches From The Farm

Howdy Folks, In just four weeks my nettles patch is 4ft tall! Nettles are packed with vitamins, minerals, and even protein! Did you know we make our spring zing tincture from the nettles plant? Not so subtle hint, I know......

I am discussing the adult nettles plant here on Longfellows Creek in West Seattle. Also, the thumbnail photo you are looking at is the nettle stinging hairs or trichomes. I have been experimenting with taking photos with a microscope. Enjoy!...
