Hope I'm posting this in the proper place.
Hello nettle eaters,
I just collected some nettle leaves in the hills around where I live in Southern California. I've been reading how you shouldn't eat nettles when they are flowering. It seemed like all the nettle plants I picked showed early early signs of flowering....little buds under the leaf groups (definitely nothing like the ones in total bloom like the photos I've been seeing online). The plants were also not too big...I'd say around six inches in height with leaves a little bigger than quarters. (I have no pictures
)
What should I do? (please, please, please tell me they are ok to eat)
Thanks!
