Wild garlic mustard pesto tonight! Garlic mustard is everywhere right now and I’ve seen all these posts about making pesto with it so I’m giving it a try. We add the cheese to the pasta but I used just leaves, wild garlic bulbs and greens that grow all over the place, juice from half a lemon and salt. Pretty tasty. So now I wonder, can it be frozen? I’ve read that it needs to be used right away or it gets bitter. #wildfood #foraging #garlicmustard #pesto #freefood #greens #eatyourveggies #getoutside #forage #whatsfordinner https://www.instagram.com/p/CAbGYUTnzUv/?igshid=1ayhkyhkxkq75

Here is an excellent example of how a glaze can save the day. Last week's Perpetual Plant Journal entry was Alliaria petiolata, more commonly known as garlic mustard. It grows in New Jersey. I sketched it in pencil, late one afternoon before the rain began. That evening, I added color in my studio using a photo reference and artificial light. My concentration was more on achieving a bit of the red tint to the green leaves than it was to the green of the leaves. It looked fine to me until I snapped photos the next morning, holding it next to the plant. The leaves didn't look green at all. They looked yellow compared to the actual leaves once the sketch was in natural light. I had nothing to lose by adding a dilute glaze of blue/green using my favorite watercolor technique ... pulling the puddle. By pulling the glaze puddle gently over the leaves I was able to alter the color without harming the paint layer beneath it. I've attached photos of the before glazing and after glazing. The glaze worked well and the leaves now are a better match to the actual plant. I'm working in a Stillman and Birn Zeta Series sketchbook. The paper is thick enough and high enough quality to handle several layers of glazing when necessary. It also accepts ink nicely. The lettering is drawn first in pencil, then inked using a Platinum Carbon Ink fountain pen before adding color. My palette was: Winsor Yellow, Ultramarine Blue, Joe's Blue, Alizarin Crimson and Cadmium Red Light. #chriscarterart #chriscarterartist #explorewithchriscarter #botanicalillustration #garlicmustard #alliariapetiolata #perpetualjournal #watercolorflowers #watercolourpainting #watercolorist https://www.instagram.com/p/B_vMlD8nmo8/?igshid=28mdbwnu13sb

Feeling lucky to be well fed and enjoying the pleasure of feeding others well too today. Finished mixing sourdough for 20 loaves before I had soup for breakfast — with kidney beans, sweet potato, tomato, coconut milk, and garlic mustard greens (delicious invasive at its edible peak right now all over my backyard). Specialty loaf this week is called Kitchen Sink: apricot, almond, lemon peel, chia, poppy, and pumpkin seed. I’ll let you know how it comes out. . . . #goodfood #foragedfood #garlicmustard #veganfood #homebaker #soupoftheday #ctcottagefood #soupforbreakfast (at Chaplin, Connecticut) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_Vh_mQnv6S/?igshid=158rh7rw0fw9a

Today I will be staying in and tending to my roots! These garlic mustard roots will make a good horseradish some day. On this rainy and snowy day instead of foraging I plan to organize my apothecary which has become in disarray since I have been making medicine non-stop since covid hit us all last month! What do you plan to do with your Saturday? #foraging #garlicmustard #wildforaged #wildforaging #edible #medicinalherbs #medicinalplants #roots #apothecary #herbalmedicine #stayhome #staysafe #stayhealthy (at Middletown, Connecticut) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_H491-JR6Z/?igshid=16lrzs788a33y

This is why #garlicmustard is the absolute worst. Ever since February I've been pulling it out little by little. Last year I tried to get a handle on it, but I gave up. Since it's a biannual, i focused on pulling the flowering plants only. But these are all the little #seedlings carpeting the forest floor. So so many. I made a big batch of pesto. But you can only eat so much. https://www.instagram.com/p/B-sYt2unaMB/?igshid=oxjjx4wuak2e

Worked on the third bed and gathered nettles and garlic mustard. Making nettle soup and nettle & garlic mustard pesto out of them.

Guess what time it is?! #foragedfood I was walking the back woods pulling all the #garlicmustard I found. It looks like I might be able to eradicate it, I only see first year plants. In the meantime, I'll eat every one I gather. It takes a lot of green stuff to make #pesto. Might as well use the free ones. https://www.instagram.com/p/Bvt6tGfnLEE/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1pjx9f811ps29
