You never know. There may be some wealthy continental taker  ;D  :-J
If you get a good franchise I can cover any  amount of gap in your crop ( for a price of course  :innocent: )

I am selling dried nettles and they are going like hot cakes!


Not on eBay for me though ;D

I don't know about dried nettles.   Round here they are very wet nettles. 
How come they grow so well whether the weather is hot and dry or cold and wet?  Meh!

Yes, please list on E-bay, donate 100% of the proceeds to charity, and post the link here. You never know what might happen  ;) .

I believe it's free listing this weekend anyway, so you've nothing to lose  :thumbsup: .

And any shortfalls can be supplemented from here.

Plenty Cumbrian reshes too  ;D

D'ya know - I think I might just have enough nettles not to have to buy any  ;)
BUT I'd stick em on ebay too - nettles are great for butterflies and other beasties. They were talking about it on the programme from Hampton Court Flower show on the telly last night - so Monty has already given them a plug.  ;)  ;D

Captain, has the thistle been endorsed by Mr Murray?  ;)  Worth a bundle with the current Murray mania  :thumbsup:

How about selling Buckets of Mud?  We could sell multicoloured mud,  if we all worked together. 
I have rich black mud the colour of coal.  What can the rest of you offer?


Do you remember those little bottles of multi-coloured sand you could buy at the seaside when you were little?
We could sell our glass bottles of Multi-coloured-mud-plugs as the Souvenir of Choice of a British Summer Holiday.  After all, we have visitors coming from all over the world to enjoy Wimbledon or the Olympics this year  :D
