Great read, Richard! You've captured spring in Quebec perfectly...particularly how we bounce between rapture and despair depending on what the weather decides to do...
I was lucky to see a kingfisher at the bottlm of the garden this morning and later I was yelled at by a red winged black bird while I was out cleaning up a flower bed...both signs that spring has finally sprung here in St-Eustache!! Happy Easter. 😊
Your invasive is our valued plant! Garlic Mustard is an important plant for one of our earliest butterflies, the Orange Tip, which lays its eggs on its leaves.

Thanks Fiona … and today the maple flowers are starting to appear.
Terrific wealth of information of the flora and fauna that are Spring! Thank you!!

I remember that ... sadly here its only threat comes from people picking a few shoots for the garlic taste. It is a nuisance.
