looks like it. If I found that in my yard here in New England, i’d uproot it on a heartbeat.

Yeah, pretty easy to get out, root wise, but aggressively spreads.

My understanding is that it was brought to this country for use in cooking. It is my understanding that it makes a really nice pesto. I would consider harvesting the leaves early make your pesto don’t let it go to seed. And if you want to rip it out rip it out but if you like the pesto you may not want to rip it out.

Holy shit. I have huge patches of this stuff at the edge of my forest. It smells amazing when I weed whack it. Rabbits seem to love it just before winter but leave it alone rest of the year.

Yes it’s garlic mustard. You can eat it too. I’d forage tons of it back when I lived in the Midwest. Which also helped eradicate it from areas it was becoming invasive.
