Anyone know where any might be growing....I am looking for them so that I can steep them to make a fungicide/pesticide and a natural fertilizer. Thanks!

Do you mean bull nettle? that small really green little plant/bush with a beautiful white flower,that will put a really BIG WELT on you when it touches your skin.
We have stinging nettle. I would describe it like the previous reply: you touch it and it stings like the dickens. We don't get welts, but a rash like look and it burns, burns, burns. It does have the white flower. They haven't started showing up yet, but they will shortly. June? We have lots in our pastures here in Granbury, but thetr are getting to be fewer and fewer of them as my husband mows these filed. But, we are still very well blessed!
