    Hi there,

    I’ve just acquired an allotment and I am keen to get started. I found this plant at the back of it and don’t know what it is! Any ideas welcome!

    I tried my plant identification app and it kept saying purple death kettle but I know it’s not that

    Also any general advice for keeping an allotment is very welcome
