Reminder that garlic mustard is edible and beneficial (both raw and cooked), and very easy to ID!

💚 rich in vitamins
💚 aids digestion
💚 antimicrobial
💚 supports immune system
💚 possibly anti-cancer

I suggest cooking and seasoning because I personally think it tastes bad.

I've done it... I mossed the yard. When collecting moss from the wild, do not take entire patches! I take less than a third of each patch I want.

Once the moss perks up from being transplanted it'll get nice and green and happy 💚💚💚
