#but there is no possible way there are 4800 seeds in that little bag

[elephantbitterhead]

My wee nettle child has performed like a champion. That’s 8g of seed, probably somewhere between 200-300 seeds. Two years ago, this plant was a single less-than-thriving volunteer beside the coal bunkers; I managed to get 6 seeds from it. This year, I got one successful seedling from those seeds. That single plant was the source of all these seeds, most of which I harvested by hand with a very dainty pair of tweezers.

Next year, though -- next year via these seeds there will be an impenetrable forest of large-flowered hemp nettle thriving somewhere on this property. At that point, I think (read: hope) I can leave it alone to thrill the bees and maintain itself.
