Composition :
13x13cm sachet with 0.9gr nettle seeds Urtica dioica
Growing method :
- Sowing: Open the bag and pour the seeds into your hand. Mix with sand to facilitate sowing. Sow directly in your garden in a rather damp spot when the temperature is favorable, sowing the seeds 5 mm apart and 25 cm apart.
- Watering: Preferably use rainwater or filtered (chlorine-free) water. Prefer light rainfall watering, ideally with a hand sprayer, to keep the soil just moist, but not soggy, throughout the growing period. Think of the soil as a wet, wrung-out sponge. Don't let the soil dry out.
- Germination: expose them to sunlight behind glass, but not over a radiator, to encourage rapid and abundant germination. Alternatively, from April onwards, place them in the sun on your balcony, windowsill or terrace. Borage flower seeds take a few days to germinate, then sprout if well watered.
- Transplanting: there's no need to transplant, as the crop is sown/planted directly. If necessary, aerate by removing a few plants if your seedling is too dense. Each borage plant needs 25 cm to develop.
- Harvesting: Leaves are harvested in spring or early summer, before the plant flowers, when they are softer and have a milder flavor. Nettle leaves are rich in nutrients such as iron, vitamin C and antioxidants, making them a popular remedy in natural medicine.
Our tip: to avoid unpleasant stings, we recommend wearing thick gloves when picking nettle leaves, and touching them from the underside. Leaves can be cut with scissors and used immediately, or dried.
In cooking, nettle leaves are often used in soups, stews, sauces and herbal teas. Once cooked, nettle leaves lose their stinging power and offer a delicious earthy flavor.In the garden, nettle is a valuable plant for gardeners because of its fertilizing properties. It is often used as a natural fertilizer to enrich the soil and encourage the growth of other garden plants.
