There was heavy rain during the 48 hours after the fourth photo. The fifth was taken a few days after the rain and I was suprised that so much was still lef, even withthe original shape almost totally intact.

" Young stems and leaf stalks quite hairy. Leaves opposite each other, 1-7 cm long, mostly 10-45 mm wide, lower surface paler than the upper surface, margins toothed or deeply and narrowly incised, tips blunt or sometimes pointed. "
Description from https://apps.lucidcentral.org/plants_se_nsw/text/entities/urtica_urens.htm shows a range of leaf shapes and indentations are possible. The young stems did have hairs.
I agree the venation looks different.

As you pulled them out we cannot wait to see the flowers.
Google Lens suggests Mint family, based on the leaf edges and venation. It was aromatic.
