Vinny's Allotment Plot

Nettle seeds must last indefinitely in the soil. They still germinate in my small greenhouse that i have had for about 40 years and they have never seeded in that time.

A bed of nettles is a sign that the ground has been disturbed at some time - its something that archaeologists look for when surveying the land for signs of human habitation.

9. NETTY

Another Geordie word that might have continental relatives is netty, which has been used as another word for a toilet since the early 1800s. According to one theory at least, netty might come from an Italian word for latrines or public conveniences, gabbinetti.

I did wonder what Vinny was on about, but was too polite to ask. Not a word us southerners use.
