Is This A Weed Grass

Never seen wild garlic, I'll look it up does it look similar?

It does in some ways. Rub the roots and see if it smells like garlic.

You need patience to deal with grass, learning every day, mostly by trial and error because no two situations are the same. Try different techniques, watering, seeds, mowing etc. Eventually it will improve and you will start to get the hang of it.

Yep patience is virtue, and I am learning everyday this thing has me scunnered though.

Rye grass ?

Hi does that mean you think it's perennial ryegrass, Google lens said that from one pic, then I used another, and it said nutsedge so wasn't consistent.

Just had a light bulb moment, and yes I don't sleep lay awake all night imagining my perfect garden seriously though there's bare spots and not 100% sure need to check in the morning, but weeds are not fussy they'll pop up where they like, and I don't think any are in the bare spots, so I'm thinking it's possible that they were, are in my seed mix, cause why grow only where the seeds have germinated, if in the soil they would emerge surely, where there's no competition in the bare patches, do you think that's possible?

Wild garlic, it isn't.

I think Facebook is your best bet. There are many gardening forums on there and lots of 'experts' happy to show of there so-called knowledge.
My wife is a member of a few. She seems to be able to talk for hours about plants and things. It bores me to tears frankly.

I spoke to my wife about this. At first she though 'three-sided leek' but as you say it does not smell of onion / leek / garlic then clearly not.
She also said that you would need to go on one of the more specialist lawn groups as it is quite a specialist area you're asking into.
Lastly, once it's fully grown and then mown a few times you won't notice any of it anyways

Thanks all good points, I never actually rubbed it or smelled it, so will do, the thing that worried me was it grew faster so when I cut it it's always going to grow quicker it's in my post above but last night I was thinking that this could actually be from my mix.
There's bare patches and there is the odd one popped up but all the patches are virtually empty so if this was a weed then why not occupy the empty space where my seed has failed, but maybe grassy weeds are different, just a thought but it is odd I think.

Wee update if anyone is interested, after a bit more investigation I think they're coming from next door after all that , I'm 4 in a block, so even if you want your garden nice, but the person nextdoor doesn't, so I'll just keep pulling them out till bentgrass hopefully takes over, still don't know what they are, but I don't think they're perennial ryegrass now, thanks for everyone's help.

Hi I've just seeded with bentgrass and fescue,

shoulda looked at the pic on the pack.

Now you can scuttle off and tell 'em we're more helpful than S.fix.
