    Default Anyone have any nettle seeds?

    We don't have any here and i would love to have some to plant:)
    Any seeds that you all are not going to plant please let me know.
    I'm determined to do more raw over the summer, winter was a little difficult for me.

    Thanks

    Not planting; eating.

    I put links in another thread here on where to find them; how to use them, etc. if interested.

    I just ordered seeds off ebay. Make sure to check seller feedback. I think I got 200 seeds for about $5 shipped. I am planting them in a plot next to a small wooded area at the edge of my yard. I will eat/juice them once they are grown a bit but will definitely allow them to go to seed as well so they spread. I think the also spread by roots as well. Hopefully in a couple years I'll have quite a nettle patch.

    I typed nettle seeds and came up with maybe 15 or 20 sellers. The one I went with is over in Malaysia and had over 8000 feedback at 99.8% positive or something like that. Ordered seeds yesterday during the day and they shipped yesterday evening.

    it seems like you should be able to find some locally..they grow in loads of places. then just dig up some and replant, they spread by the root pretty rampantly. they are considered a weed by most people and dont forget that they do sting. but it seems you should be able to find some locally. call your local extension service or department of agriculture, or even the botany department at a nearby university or go to a garden center or organic farmer and ask if they are a common weed in the area.
