Default Red dead-nettle

Well can you believe it? I've just weedkiller-ed loads of this plant on my allotment only to find its edible. I have no idea where it came from - it wasn't there last year I'm wondering if its used as a green manure as a neighbour said he might put some on my plot but I've not seen him since.

If you have a pink flowered weed that looks like a stinging netttle with small leaves check its not this first: Lamium purpureum - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
