Hi Maria, It was on a path and not everyone on our allotments tolerates nettles. As our own allotment patch doesn't have any I didn't want to risk putting it in amongst some nettles that might soon be removed. That's why we took it to our own nearby nettle patch at home.

Nice spotting - why did you move it from your allotment to your garden patch?
