Gardening Tips

Seeds should be planted indoors and kept in a dome with a heated mat for 4-8 weeks.

It is key that your new starts be hardened off. This is a process that requires taking them outside during the day, for a period of time, before they are planted. This acclimates your seedlings to the outside world, meaning the elements like the wind and sun. We do it for several weeks to a month as this strengthens their stems and overall plant structure.

  • Start for a short period of time initially, then graduate to more time each day
  • One week minimum is recommended
  • Bring them inside in the early evening and overnight
  • Keep an eye on them and constantly water them. Make sure they have not blown over.

Harvesting Tips

The leaves and stems can be harvested and used in a variety of culinary and medicinal applications, including teas, soups, and tinctures. Don't forget to harvest with your garden gloves on, because the sting of a nettle is unforgettable!
