Compiled by my pal Tina over at The Essential Herbal in Lancaster County with a bounty of recipes submitted by many long distance herb pals from the Essential Herbal Yahoo Group, yours truly, included. Oh by the way, Friends of the Farm, I do have a supply here....otherwise, go bug Tina and tell her I sent you. hehheh. This one is always on the top of the pile...
This is a brand new find that I'm still reading through, but I'm continually amazed all the things you can do with stinging nettles. Neat book. I got this on Amazon.
This little beauty was published by herb friend Peter Gail from Goosefoot Acres in Cleveland, Ohio...Believe it or not, I actually have two autographed copies of this book. The MAN spent some time with Peter at a conference last fall, and knowing how much I LOVE the violas, bought me a copy and had Peter autograph it for me. He didnt know that I already had my own copy autographed 4 or 5 years before. Anyway, Peter is really known as the Dandelion Guy, but I can't find that book on my shelf at the moment...hmmm, who did I loan that to? Anyway, I'd be willing to give away my first copy (I'll keep the one my MAN brought me) Anyone interested?? I know all you lurking violet lovers out there. Please throw your name into the comment 'hat' and I will draw a name at noon on Friday and announce the winner here on this post. Don't forget to check back! Good Luck and may the Violets be with you!!!!(Seems the server is down for www.Edibleweeds.com...I'll check back on this link later)

What a wonderful giveaway idea!!
and hey..I sure wish I would have known what a good thing nettles were when I was a kid. THe only thing we used them for (they grew wild and free mixed with the blackberries on the creek behind my grandma's house) was to "get" my city cousins. They would come to visit all dressed in white and snotty attitudes so we would take them for a "walk" to pick berries and they would come home purple splotched from berries and itching and crying from the nettles..mean, huh??? Dandelions I do love. I havn't seen nettles growing here. I wonder if they do?
I love reading your blog..and the pictures are fantastic!
I'm in!!
