Re: Chicago Bans Invasive Plants

When you pull up your garlic mustard, don't throw away the  
leaves...eat them.  In spring (before flowering) the leaves are good  
in salads.  You can also make a VERY tasty pesto by combining the  
leaves with olive oil, S&P, and a little parm in a food processor.   
Being environmentally correct tastes good.
