Hik, Dirk. Thanks for the email. Fortunately, these sites are all on our regular rotation (though it's sad we HAVE a regular rotation) and we should've gotten to them all last Thursday and Friday. If they still look green in a couple weeks, we can still do a followup spray, so need for concern yet.
Meanwhile, if you're interested, we list the areas we've worked on here:
By the stop sign where SW Boones Ferry Road meets Taylors Ferry Road there is a big healthy patch of garlic mustard. Also on Taylors Ferry Road near First Sreet there is a small patch of garlic mustard on north side of road, and on SW Palatine Hill Road at mail box 0704 there is what I think is garlic mustard, did not actually cross the street to check it out and was near dark.
