Second year growth of the invasive garlic mustard (Alliaria petiolata). First year growth has a rosette form.

Pulls up easy at this 2nd. year stage, but the underground taproot will keep on producing more and more. Been digging up the taproots for years.

I'd be prepared to bet quite a lot that this is not garlic mustard. The leaf shape and texture are wrong. The terminal buds are also not right and it would have flowered by now anyway.

Agree that it isn't not garlic mustard....looks alot like creeping bell flower (campanula) ...weedy....
You'll know when it flowers......

Thanks from me - I'm walking back on my garlic mustard answer. I've got what ians says is the "creeping bellflower" and should have known. I never let it produce the tall raceme of flowers.

crikey.. i may as well guess.. lol

reminds me of monarda .. see link ... aka bee balm

is that in the memory.. or the list???
