Garlic mustard, surprisingly, is THE MOST nutritious green ever tested.
I say pull it all up and EAT it!
As long as it hasn't been contaminated by ant chemicals.

Best way to harvest is in the spring before seed heads develop.
This will also keep it from throwing any more seeds.
The seeds can "bank" themselves for decades.

Best way to use is as pesto.
