  It looks like Monk's-hood - Aconitum napellus - but I'd like someone else to either confirm or correct my ID as I'm not too sure.

  To stop weeds, when plants are big enough to plant out, first dig your garden over  without weeding, then cover with polythene and cut a one cross into the sheet where you want to grow each plants, put your hand through the cross cut you made in poly  into loose dug over soil and put in each plant that you have bought or raised first from a seed and watch them grow ... enjoy your plot weed free...for potatoes ridge up the earth for the amount of rows needed then roll up your length of polythene and start at the first row and roll out over each ridge and valley till you reach the last row then cut a cross into poly for each potato needed approx 9" to 12" apart, then dig out loose dug over soil through each cross cut deep enough approx 6'8" and plant each potato then put back loose soil again over seed potato...then enjoy your weed free plot of garden
