~ Dead Nettle ~
Thank-you so much Jeanne , I've been trying to i.d. this plant for two years or more. I'm so glad you knew what it was , found a great article about it's medicinal properties here ~ http://www.naturesherbal.com/Purple_Dead_Nettle.htm ~.
Hi Flassie ~ I would definitely say it is invasive , it spreads quickly , we have it everywhere. But it has such a earthy smell , I thought it was probably edible. I'm going to try some tea today.
Glad you found a link to it!!
ReplyDeleteAwesome! If you go the gov site
it will say it is invasive.
Good to know all these things.
I did bring some home and put
it in a planter a couple of days
ago. Just a small one. Want to
see if it will even grow.
God Bless You and Yours!!!

How is it used as a herb pot?
ReplyDeleteLike a side dish? There is a
recipe.
Is it like eating dandelion greens?
I might go pick some and use it in
tea and salad. If I can find it
away from the road.
God Bless You and Yours!!!
Never mind I looked it up.
ReplyDeleteWhen I think of herbs I using
think they are used for tea
or as a seasoning. I see that
they are also used as a food.
Have a Bless Day!!
Hi Flassie ~ Yes , using it as a pot herb means it can be cooked just dandelion greens or other greens.

think they are used for tea
or as a seasoning. I see that

See what I mean when I say I
write the wrong word in even
if I am thing about the right
word to put in. So weird.
My first try I wrote the word using, all the while I was thinking of the word usually.
I missed seeing your blog entry.
ReplyDeleteI posted a minute afterwards.
Thanks!
God Bless You and Yours!!!
You are most Welcome!
