 Thanks a bunch,

Could you describe this plant to me/us?  I have noticed a comparison to a common
broadleaf weed (poke, pokeweed or Phytolacca americana) which is very different
from wild onion/garlic (Allium spp.).
I'm guessing it's growing around you home, but is it in your lawn or flowerbeds?
in shade or sun? What does it look like? How tall? Leaf shape? (Broad and flat
like an oak or maple? Narrow and flat like grass? Narrow and round like
chives?) Any coloration? Red Stems? Flowers? Flower Color? Any other interesting
features? Does it smell like anything?
This may clear up some confusion as I have no clue what plant you are looking
at, let alone what various people
call 'ramp.'
