Thanks for the reminder, Kate. I only became aware of this plant last year, when it starting taking over large areas of my back yard. You really need to pull it before it goes to seed, as the seeds scatter to the four winds when disturbed. I’ve already started looking out for it this year.

I also hate this stuff! I’m in UK and look after a little local park. One border is full of Garlic Mustard. I’m reassured that I’m doing the right thing – last year I prevented flowering and this year I’ve started to dig up the plants. However, I was composting them and will now stop doing that!

HATE this stuff! Are there groups in your area that do Garlic mustard pulls? In Southeast Michigan the Stewardship Network organizes a challenge each year to see who among their clusters or groups can pull the most. I read the other day that over 500,000 pounds has been pulled over the last several years.
