It’s that time a year to harvest Purple Dead Nettles 💜 often thought of as a beautiful weed but don’t just toss them as they have many benefits and uses. You can eat them fresh in your salad, create tinctures, in tea my favourite, poultice for insect bites, infuse in oil, salves, cream or soap and can even be used for natural dyes. #weedlife #weedporn #weedcollector #purpledeadnettles #beautifulweed #harvesting #weedharvest #purple #teamaker #farmer #artist #laurabalucciart #cortesisland https://www.instagram.com/p/CNcw22kD9gm/?igshid=1hjkulnpp58xn

Made some dead purple and stinging nettle pesto with the goodies in my yard plus pickled lemon, fermented garlic, raw garlic, sea salt, oil, walnuts, pumpkin seeds and black pepper. I split the batch to share with my neighbor. Hope they like it. 🤗😊🤗😊 #purpledeadnettle #purpledeadnettles #purpledeadnettlepesto #pesto #stingingnettlepesto #foraging #foragedfood #stingingnettle #stingingnettles #stingingnettlesrock #garlicmustard #fermentedgarlic #pickledlemon https://www.instagram.com/p/B_i4KyFHU3k/?igshid=h58gtwcjk7bt

@kristincdonnelly ✨ You inspired me to share our Purple Deadnettle, it looks so much like Henbit which we also have around the yard. 🌸🌱 About: “Purple deadnettle’s scientific name Lamium purpureum has the Greek translation ‘the devouring purple monster’. The name is perfect to describe the effect the weed has on its environment. It is an annual winter weed in generally warm areas, which transforms entire plowed farmed lands into reddish purple fields. It has multiple medicinal purposes, and is considered a diuretic, diaphoretic, astringent, purgative, and styptic. The fresh leaves are helpful for external wounds or cuts.” (Source: https://www.ediblewildfood.com/purple-deadnettle.aspx ) #purpledeadnettle #purpledeadnettles #wildedibles #wildedibleplants (at New Jersey) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-7tfkwnexB/?igshid=17zwhhl2ru5m7
