No, that's not wild garlic - it's Fat hen - Chenopodium album, a weed often found in disturbed and agricultural land.
It's often used by Asian cooks as a vegetable, and then it's called Lamb's Quarter.

Fat Hen!!! Love it! Edible then? Where is my wild garlic???? LOL
Thanking you!
If you sowed this year your wild garlic will still be very small, like a little blade of grass. Not like fat hen which is an annual and has to get on with flowering and seeding.
You might find some ramsons round the fat hen
