Gabriola nettles say it’s spring
The weather on Gabriola right now is more like spring than winter, and the nettles agree. Last year it was March when I noticed that the island’s nettles were ready for picking. This year? Baby nettle plants are already a couple of inches tall in many parts of the forest. Head out to your favourite nettle patch now, and I bet you’ll harvest enough nettle for soup.
