Even more common than nettles is garlic mustard and now is the best time to eat it and it's free! It could be growing in your back yard. These pictures were taken along the Wabash trail across from Willamsburg Pond. You can get all the garlic mustard you could possibly eat right here if you don't see it close to your house. Collect the tenderest tops like you see in the picture below. The trail is a bit muddy from the last flood right under Harrison bridge, but passable.
