Expert Response
It looks like a garlic scape. Did you plant garlic there? Definitely something in the allium family. If you didn't plant it, it could be wild but I would think you might see more if that were the case. Also, the leaves in your photo appear larger, like you would see with garlic.

You can pull it up to find a garlic bulb!
