  Looks like garlic mustard. Young leaves are delicious in salads. You can cook the leaves like spinach or make a pesto with it. Great habitat for butterflies. The flowers, not the pesto.

  Also jack by the hedge. It’s definitely a weed when it’s in my garden.

  Orange tip butterflies like it. I remove it when the annuals are ready to go in.
