dead nettles

After the snow melted, I was able to pick a batch of purple dead nettle from the yard- and most of the leaves look perfect, no insect damage.

I lightly stir-fried them and ate with rice and sweet red beans for lunch. Took half an hour to pick and clean the nettles- but felt worth it to get something fresh, green and healthy from the ground when there's almosr nothing in the garden.
