Date for you diary



Starting tomorrow - be nice to nettles week.

http://www.nettles.org.uk/

I hope that they won't mind but I have quoted from their website.

.......Almost everyone is familiar with the nettle having experienced its formidable sting. To many it is a troublesome weed that should be eradicated wherever it is found. This point of view has only recently developed. Indeed the humble nettle has played, and continues to play, an important role in the natural world.....

The bit I am especially tempted with is nettles as clothing and I might get in tought with the Northumberland Cheese Company to try some of their nettle cheese.

I have a nettle in the back of my garden behind the bamboo. I think I will leave him there!
