This spring I collected young nettles (under 10 cm tall). Blanched, they are very tasty. Like spinach, with some floral flavour.
Now that it is Summer, the nettle is very tall (1m+). When do people harvest them for fiber? When they are green or after the first frost and they have gone brown, but still standing?
Ta!
