> If the leaves sting your fingers, it's probably too late. That's not necessarily so, Ron <G> I have gotten really stung from just brushing against very small starter plants before transplanting! One of the best antidotes to nettle sting is the juice from plantains which usually grows nearby. Just chew the leaves up a little and spread on the sting area. All the herbal books say to harvest the nettle before it starts to flower. It's great added to spring "tonic" soups along with other spring greens such as dandelion.
