I'm from NY too and did plenty of camping when I was younger, I've learned very well what poison ivy, oak, and sumac look like and to avoid them, but I never had heard of nettles before that trek through the eesti soo.drEsolvehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03995427419452937365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13406351.post-7513494970330325132007-10-08T08:39:00.000+02:002007-10-08T08:39:00.000+02:00gaborien - choices are many.Jam - absolutely delic...gaborien - choices are many.<BR/>Jam - absolutely delicious. Juice - super. Wine - takes some learning and time but will go down really nice. And distilling this wine gives really nice stuff, too (please note that this is illegal around here, even for your own consumption - but unless you start selling they will not find out).<BR/>Ahh, and baked apples are gorgeous.<BR/>Anyway use them as much as you can, after such year you'll have nothing next year.Wahurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15861003012357572291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13406351.post-87502663178675191432007-10-08T00:42:00.000+02:002007-10-08T00:42:00.000+02:00Try using the good old American solution: mow your...Try using the good old American solution: mow your lawn.
