You sure found some nice patches of nettles there - nice harvest! I like eating nettles in the spring, as cooked greens. And I've had many a run-in with older nettles -- to me, they are like running into a nest of biting ants. I like them better to eat! : )

Yeah, truly blessed with a whole ton of nettles up in WI!
I'll be bringing some home!
Once you get it started, maybe you'll start seeing wild patches of nettles growing everywhere - that's the way those things work, lol.
I'm looking forward to seeing whether you appreciate the painfully prickly Arkansas Greenbrier in the same way... It creates challenges for getting around in outdoors, too, but it's a pretty good green in the spring, for salad, stir-fry, a mixed pot of greens, and more -- way under-appreciated, except to prompt swearing out in the woods. And, at least in my experience, dense patches of greenbrier are good places to look for the tasty hedgehog mushrooms, too, in the winter. Enjoy your time in WI, especially with all those fall colors!
I'll look into that green Brier.
A good way to get rid of something is to eat it.
I'm an enforcer that way -- eat those problems! If Privet was edible, Arkansas would be a lot better off, lol!
