I'm very lucky, we still have some native pollinators here. Not like. Many. But some!

Man, fuck wild parsnip.
normalize fear of invasive species
Normalize not calling everything invasive without mentioning which country you're in. People in Europe are pulling out "English ivy" because some idiot on Reddit told them "it's invasive'.
Very true, however in this case I figured the meme provided the appropriate context of North American ecosystems vs British wildflowers and the specific example of garlic mustard
Like humans
Does social anxiety count? I'm doing my part.
We're terrified of a Russian bush
I'm waiting for turf wars between Russian Thistle and Kudzu
English ivy joins the ring.
Afraid of, destroyed by--tomato, tomato.
Garlic mustard...? 🤔
That sounds awesome.
I get it occasionally in my yard the last few years. It's invasive where I'm at. However I do see the appeal of it, it smells like it's name, garlic and mustard. I never tried cooking with it. I should next time.
Perhaps culinary.
Ecologically, it is snuffing out everything in the woods behind my house
Its quite bitter and doesnt have the fun spiciness of regular mustard
Is it just a type of mustard plant or is it a garlic and mustard sauce/mix?
Its a plant, but I dont know if its a true mustard
