I left this seedling grow this spring. I thought at first it was a cardinal flower. It DEFINITELY is not . It has these tiny, tiny flowers in clusters at the tips of the stems. It must be a wildflower, but what is it?
I'm in zone 6b. I grow garlic, and have never covered it with anything. It has always survived. It has always sprouted before spring, and it's never been a problem.
Forgot to add that mine's in a raised bed also, but this is the first year there. I'm thinking one good thing about that is that it...

Here's what I take to the store with me. I have one in blue, just like the pink one, and I have one in red, with a white leghorn roo and hen, with a farm scene across the top. That one is a Walmart bag that had chicken feed in. Some nice lady in Virginia from BYC sent me that bag.
