    HI. Not sure if it's really urtica doica. Someone told me that these are stinging nettles but doesn't look like the one I found before. It's funny how everyone says there is an abundance of stinging nettles, but I have yet to find more than the tiny patch I had found.
    Please confirm if this person is correct. Also, if you know of stinging nettle locations, please post or PM me. Greatly appreciated.

    Appears to be Chenopodium album, aka as Goosefoot, Lambsquarters and Pigweed.

    That's a Fat-hen Chenopodium album. It can be eaten like spinach.
