Ya similar here . Grass is greening up . We are better off than those in south central and north central , reports of 40+ inches of snow .

The garden looks great @DavidBarkey ! Nice to see that genny engine finally getting a good workout! So, no AG tires, just weights and turf tires and it pulled fine?

Ya just weighted turfs with 2x chains . First pass pulled fine . Had to hang some weight off the front to get it to steer. If I can get Jake to drive it I will try and do a short video .

Finally got some stinging nettle going! Been trying for 4 years!

What is that Eugen. ?

It grows rampant in the ditch by us, and has taken over the compost pile. I would just as soon not have it. See how that works when you want something you can't have it, when you don't, you get it without asking.
Are you going to use it for greens?

Look here under culinary uses. It's a delicacy when sautéed with a little garlic and served with eggs sunny side up as I like it.

Easily found in Europe but here I had a hard time so I've been trying to establish it in the garden from seeds and this year is the first that there's enough for a meal.

Yes Tim, but only now when it's young. Needs to be handled with gloves before cooking, stings a lot!

I have never tried it. Have a hard time getting past the reaction you get if you get tangled up in it.
