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

Garlic mustard…? 🤔
That sounds awesome.
Perhaps culinary.
Ecologically, it is snuffing out everything in the woods behind my house
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.
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
One word: Kudzu
