You are not really 'supposed' to pinch them back (that mention was a joke - blague), but picking the topmost young leaves for cooking will have the same effect and make the nettles denser.

(I did not know you are supposed to pinch them back to make them more vigorous, but it makes sense.) What a wonderful service you provide here. I will thoroughly enjoy poring over your entries and improving my reading of French. Alas, I don't dare try to comment thus. Merci! Bonjour Kristen–
