Big fat juicy stingers

[sobrique]

Anyone seen recently, any really nice juicy stinging nettles? I've got a notion of something I'd like to try, and so if you've seen some - particularly in the Midlands area - please let me know.
Ideally looking for quite tall stinging nettles.

Are you planning a soup?

It's a bit late in the year for soup, I think - you're supposed to make it relatively early, as the diuretic qualities of nettle leaves increase as summer goes on.

Or so some cookbooks say, anyway. I'm plotting to grow some for soup next year...
