Next time you are pulling out some stinging nettles, put them to one side as they are worth £7.99 according to one website.

Gardening Express has the plant on pre-order as sales have been so popular, with new deliveries not expected until October.

    i worked for coblands in the 90s and we used to get orders for wild blackberry, we didn't actually grow them, but when an order came in, we would dig them out of the hedgerow/uncultivated ground, it was always a source of wonder why people needed to pay for them.

    Where there's muck there's brass, as they say. You do begin to wonder what people are willing to pay for though!
