| Six springs I have been pulling, spraying, mowing before it seeds and I was gaining on it.
This spring it's the worst I've ever seen it - like all the work has been for nothing. When no rain is forecast I'm going to spray it - no way can I pull it all. Besides I think even little bits of roots regenerate so systemic death to the roots too. Lisa |

| A friend called me last year to ask if I knew what garlic mustard was as she'd read of a recipe for garlic mustard soup and she wanted to try some. I told her yes I knew what it was and that's it's a very invasive weed. But in spite of that I'd bring her some leaves to taste. Well, she liked them so much that she asked where she could find a plant as she couldn't find any growing on her property - open dry somewhat rocky fields. So I took one plant to her which she is growing in a container. The article linked below mentions several culinary uses for garlic mustard. As a matter of fact, I think I might try the omlet this morning. |

| It kind of reminds me of nibbling on onion grass as a child - which made me sick. Anyway, I have enough for every soup kitchen and restaurant in the state - tens of thousands of plants, covering a couple thousand square feet - that's the big ones, countless teeny little sprouts - except that now it's all laced with Weed B Gone and it's wilting, wilting... (evil laugh). |
