Stinging nettle
📍 2021 Island Hwy S, Courtenay, BC V9N 9T9, Canada
🗓 Season: March · April · May
🔍 When is it ripe?
Harvest only the top 4–6 young leaves in spring before flowering. Use gloves — sting disappears completely on cooking. Blanch, steam, or make into soup. Do not eat once plant flowers (gets gritty). Highly nutritious — rich in iron and vitamins.
Stinging nettle, grows on side of road above an embankment. I wouldn't pick the road side stuff, personally, but it also grows down the embankment.
