I have just inspected all the nettles that I left to grow and there

not seem to be a great deal of insect life on them, disappointing to

do
however have a huge number of gatekeeper butterfly`s so I must be
getting something right.

Gate keepers do seem to be having a good season. I wonder if you left
the nettles in a dank dark corner? The butterflies that like nettles
are a bit choosy about the nettles but I've never worked out exactly
how they choose but it's usually not nettles in a dank dark place.
