Does anyone know what this is? Its a hardy piece of work, been trying to dig them out for 2 years but keep growing back!
They`ve got tiny bristles on the leaves, similar to nettles and have tiny blue flowers on them. Quite broad leaved and some of them get to around 2 feet in height in the summer if i don`t cut them down. Looks like possibly a member of the nettle family??

Just thinking if i can`t get rid of the beggars maybe i can feed them to something...if not torts then rabbits etc......just need to find out what it is first

Any ideas?
