Invasive Species Awareness Week

This is Invasive Species Awareness Week - and I have noticed the garlic mustard in my flowerbeds, drawing in the warm spring sunshine and building up sugar in its roots.  Time to get these plants is now, while they are small.  Don't wait for them to build up root systems and potentially spawn off new plants! 

The good folks at Ohio State University Extension service have created a number of Buckeye Yard and Garden Line bulletins about invasive weeds.  Here is a link to one on bittersweet, which many people like for interior decorating.
