    Please add very clear close ups so we can all be 100% positive that there is no JKW
    Your pic is not clear enough.

    2nd thoughts - those leaves may belong to stinging nettles. Need another photo.
    That was my first thought then my sister mentioned JKW and then I doubted myself

    @TheGreenMan is this what you were worried about?
    if so,  it’s just flowering stinging nettles.  Can be confirmed by touching them.
    Whoever said they don’t sting when in flowers was having us on😀

    Gardening on the wild, windy west side of Dartmoor.

    @Silver surfer I agree more photos needed. On the positive the paving stones haven't lifted @TheGreenMan just a few weeds showing.
    I have worked as a Gardener for 24 years. My latest garden is a new build garden on heavy clay.

    @TheGreenMan Don't worry we all sensed your fear I am sure.

    Now that I'm on my laptop, not my phone, and I've enlarged the photo I agree with @Lyn. Stinging nettles. Can't see JKW anywhere.
    Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.

    There's an old saying in our house that has come down through many generations and can be used about so many things.

    You'll know to look at it.

    Soup, meat, knitting, can I, have I, will I...??? You'll know to look at it.

    The minute you clap eyes on JKW you'll know to look at it. I spotted it twenty feet down on a river bank whilst driving over a bridge!
