the silique-style seed pods on this garlic mustard are elegant time bombs, preparing to split open in spring, and drop their payload of hundreds of little black seeds. we yank armfuls of these plants up every year, but they are more patient and persistent than we are. they take a few more square yards of terrain every spring. a creeping, incremental blitzkrieg.

Isn’t garlic mustard edible? If it is, maybe you should eat it after pulling so you get at least some benefit from it taking over! :)
Maybe you should take your clippers out in winter and blitzkrieg the hell out of them before the ________’s explode. Please laugh!
