Hogweed


Lots of hogweed grows along the footpath, between the nettle patches. A TV programme last week said that the seeds were a great spice for flavouring jelly. I crushed some in my fingers. They do have a very attractive scent. I may try this some time.

CAUTION: There are some very dangerous poisonous plants which look similar to this. See this one.

Where do I Walk?

Mainly in a fairly compact area on the north-east side of Steyning in West Sussex, UK.
