Please help identify my weeds!

[GreaterMarrow]

Can anyone shed any light on what these might be? I've searched weed identification websites but not found anything I think looks similar. Thanks.

First one is a willowherb. And yes, second is a stinging nettle.

Whatever you do / don't do: don't let it seed

And don't let your plot neighbours let it seed either!

My neighbour's plot is very well maintained so I reckon she will be more worried about us rather than the other way round!

The willowherb seems to be mostly affecting one patch of the plot so should be easy enough to get rid of. Shame really...when I googled it the flowers are really nice

I think I've already shifted most of the nettles, they are a right pain to get out because the roots spread everywhere! I had my suspicions that they were nettles but wasn't sure.

Thanks for the help guys!

Willow Herb & Stinging Nettle.
Easily removed with a hand fork.

Although, looking on the bright side , Nettles are a sign of healthy soil
