I know I have planted garlic in the past, but I am not sure why I would have put it here, in the front of a bed. Does this look like anything else?
I think it's garlic
Seems to me all you need to do is bruise one tip of the green part and smell it. If it's garlic you'll know it........

It is garlic for sure, probably a small bulb got moved with some soil, and behind it you have Yarrow too.
That was easy. Yes, it smells like garlic. You are good sleuths. Thanks
I am glad I'm not going crazy and planting things in a zombie state. (have you seen people that eat while asleep when taking sleep meds?)
An elderly gardening friend that gave me a start of his vintage garlic claims that it will spread underground as well as individual cloves sprouting during different years.
I have decided he is right. I dug up that garlic bed to relocate it and still get a few volunteers every spring. There is also a possibilty of a rodent, squirrel or bird planting for you.
Wow I never knew Garlic was such a lovely plant, I would love to have some in my kitchen garden ;)
Sylvia it is pretty when blooming too. The bees love it.
My boyfriend got some wild onions from an old man he ran into while working in the field in SE Texas one day last summer. We planted them and nothing happened. I just tilled them in figuring they were dead bulbs. Then this Spring, up they came, tiny little chives with roots that had squirmed up to five inches up through the soil. I knew it was them because I recognized the bulbs, and they were only coming up in the little corner where I had planted them. As the old guy said, they know when it's time to grow.
