More nettles

I think I’m obsessed.  It must be my age.  I just spent another two hours outside in the flowerbeds.  I’m getting better and better and getting up great long roots of nettles.  Half of what I pulled up was just dead stuff lying on top of the other plants – no green fingers needed to work out if it was good or bad. 

Now I just need to figure out what to do with it all.  I filled a bin at the weekend and another today and there's still another huge pile of debris by the garden wall.  It’s another week till green bin collection day.  I know nothing about composting other than that nettles must be drowned for a month before they can be composted.

A bonfire perhaps?

My hands are tingling.  If this habit is to continue I must equip myself with gloves offer some protection.  And with a nail brush.
