Garden update

[bunn]

Much of the area I had cleared earlier in the spring has been taken over by nettles, so I have just been out strimming enthusiastically.  I have piled an old cotton rug, 2 large cardboard boxes (flattened) onto it, and on top of that, some lawn mowings. With a bit of luck that will discourage them a bit.

Uuuurgh.

I like fruit and veg, but if there is one plant that is a Plant Too Far for me, it is the nettle. I made nettle soup once. It had all the nicest ingredients, apart from the nettles - so I am pretty sure what was responsible for it being the most horrible soup ever to be created. It was truly vile.
