Ford Cuts the Mustard

Tansy mustard, that is. Descurainia pinnata. A fairly useless plant, poisonous to cows. Worse, it is home to chinch bugs, those lovely little critters that migrated last year. They don't bite, and they're only marginally dangerous to the garden. But when a million of them invade your house... Well, we don't want that again.

Mustard loves wet years. Last year was very wet, and this year was moderately wet. So we had mustard growing all over the place. Had being the operative word.
