As is Garlic Mustard (Jack-by-the-Hedge) but I don't mind that as I
can eat
it when it is young and if it gets big my hens like it.
The leaves are lovely in salads. Mixed in.

I'd love to have Cow Parsley in my garden! It would be gorgeous in
some of the natural areas.

And then it'll seed not only over the parts of your garden where you
don't want it but also over you neighbours' gardens!

I only have a neighbour on one side and they're not garden-minded and
rarely mow their lawn. Their garden is a sea of weeds already. I
already grow one 'generous' native plant and three neighbours have been
very pleased to share in the progeny, including my immediate neighbour.
I still love Cow Parsley .. and my neighbours :~).
