🔍 When is it ripe?
Garlic mustard: Heart-shaped lower leaves and triangular upper leaves; white 4-petalled flowers. Harvest young leaves before or during flowering. Raw taste is garlicky and mustard-hot. Seeds can be used as a mustard substitute. Invasive in North America.
Japanese knotweed: Harvest young red-tinged shoots in early spring when under 30 cm tall. Tastes like rhubarb — very tart; high in oxalic acid. Cook before eating. Excellent for crumbles and jam. Highly invasive — harvesting actively helps control it.
Knotweed and Garlic mustard along edge/ in understory. Couple of black cherry trees.
