--Boundary_(ID_sh3cxU7oX/MNh2Ahv4hyGA) Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; delsp=yes; format=flowed Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT JUNE 6, 2008 - Today at Grand Pre I checked out the population of GARLIC MUSTARD along Highway 1, and found it to be extremely noticeable right now. For anyone who hasn't yet seen this species, check out the corner of Old Post Road and Highway 1, west of the Domaine de Grand Pre winery. You're looking for an herbaceous plant, about half a metre in height, with small 4-paarted white flowers above the leafy stem. This is an extremely aggressive introduced weed that has been in that area for perhaps 10 years now. Last year and again this year there have been local workshops to generate public awareness, but both were done at the wrong time of year when the plant could not be seen. Now would be the perfect time for such. I first encountered this plant at Point Pelee Nat. Park in southernmost Ontario perhaps 20-25 years ago, and there it formed a monoculture understory along the forest edges and probably well into the forest. Cheers? from Jim in Wolfville --Boundary_(ID_sh3cxU7oX/MNh2Ahv4hyGA) Content-type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-transfer-encoding: quoted-printable <html><body style=3D"word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; = -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; "><div style=3D"margin-top: 0px; = margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><font = face=3D"Helvetica" size=3D"3" style=3D"font: 12.0px Helvetica"><b>JUNE = 6, 2008 </b>- Today at Grand Pre I checked out the population of = <b>GARLIC MUSTARD</b> along Highway 1, and found it to be extremely = noticeable right now.=A0 For anyone who hasn't yet seen this species, = check out the corner of Old Post Road and Highway 1, west of the Domaine = de Grand Pre winery. =A0 You're looking for an herbaceous plant, about = half a metre in height, with small 4-paarted white flowers above the = leafy stem.=A0 This is an extremely aggressive introduced weed that has = been in that area for perhaps 10 years now.=A0 Last year and again this = year there have been local workshops to generate public awareness, but = both were done at the wrong time of year when the plant could not be = seen.=A0 Now would be the perfect time for such.=A0 I first encountered = this plant at Point Pelee Nat.
