Just back from the Front

Still fighting in the War against Garlic Mustard.

Take no prisoners!

No, wait. Take lots of Prisoners! Lock them up and throw them in the trash!

Garlic Mustard is a delicious green, so if they don't come from the roadside (where they'd get contaminated by dirt and exhaust,) try adding some leaves to your salad? I've eaten them plain on random walks.

Yes, you can also eat them. But we just pulled multiple armfuls of huge plants out of a hillside just below a park driveway. Not gonna eat that much, nor from that location.

And if you want to eat them, whatever parts of the plant you don't eat go in the garbage, please. Not the compost, or they will rise again like the zombies they are!!!

"You don't HAVE to eat the prisoners."

I amused to hear this.

Coincidentally (not the plant but the combination), I went out of my way, this week-end, to try to find more of this garlic-flower-infused mustard: www.latapani.com/produit/moutarde-a-la-fleur-dail/. I failed to find it but I got a different garlic mustard, this one with garlic shoots.

Also, ground cherries in ice cider jelly. Now, I just have to figure out what to combine it with.
