The three stinging nettle starts arrived today in good shape. You did a super packaging job. I see why you charged so much for shipping. I was expecting maybe bare roots wrapped in a moist paper towel and plastic bag. They look healthy and full of life. Tried sprouting seeds twice, several dozen, not one came up. I really was hoping to get them going this year. Now I have a good chance.
