Normal and Fun

If you live in North America, and you see this plant?

KILL IT. Rip it up. Dig up the roots and leave not one in the ground.

And then eat it.

This is garlic mustard, a delicious and tasty plant whose leaves smell like, well, garlic.

It's also one of the WORST invasive species in North America. It provides virtually NO benefit and disrupts the habitats of all kinds of other plant and animal species. It has spread widely across North America and is a SERIOUS problem.

That's where YOU come in! You can learn to recognize this yummy fucker and rip it up whenever you see it. In addition to helping out your ecosystem, you also get FOOD! You can use it in salads, stir fries, soups, or even make a dang good pesto with it!
