Title: Garlic Mustard Plant safe?
Post by: Bishybarneybee on May 09, 2024, 08:12:51 am

A plant with small white flowers has started growing in my pasture that my plant ID app identifies as Garlic Mustard Plant. I've never seen it growing there before.

Does anyone know if this is safe for sheep and lambs to eat or do I need to keep them away from it/remove it?

I've always known it as Jack by the Hedge. It grows all over the place here. As far as I'm aware it is perfectly safe for animals.

Thank you very much for your reply. It's good to know I don't need to worry about it.
