Garlic Mustard
Weed of the Month: Garlic Mustard

Spring is a great time to start identifying and pulling garlic mustard before it flowers and goes to seed. Garlic mustard is one of the first invasives to start growing in the spring, so it is easy identify as one of the few plants that begins to grow on the forest floor. During the spring when the ground is soft makes it an easy time for hand-pulling as well.
