What's this? I have a lot of it in my garden, and I want to know if it's edible (and therefore worth keeping) or not (and therefore I should treat it as a weed).
It's fairly easy to get rid of luckily, but in PA near my parents' house it's choking out a lot of stuff along the roadsides. Spreads like, well, a weed. :)
>>Invasive species in the USA, native to Europe. << My immediate reaction upon seeing garlic mustard plants in England was to worry about invasives taking over the park, and then realized that they were natives there.

If Yes: it's a particularly pernicious weed that'll spread like crazy.
If no... got a wider picture of the plant?
