WeedID?

Does anyone know what this weed/ plant is? We are seeing it in some gardens this year. This bed is one we want to plant garlic in in the next few days.

Looks like a type of Plantain.

Thanks for the reply. I looked up plantain and the ones I found, all had the veins of the leaf running the length of the leaf and the plant in the pic does not. Also the leaves are just a wee bit fuzzy.

In northern Vermont we call that bladder campion. Fuzzy leaf, wicked strong tap root survives even when you break off the tops with lazy weeding. Definitely try to get out as many as you can so as to not compete with your garlic. Next season, I'd keep an eye on them, as growing eyes lower on the roots will send up top (green) growth even if you thought you damaged it enough the first time.

It grows like Canadian thistle. Root sends runners
