My youngest came home last month with plants he didnt know what he planted, so we stuck it in the garden, and I cannot for the life of me figure out what it is:

Thoughts?

It's not dill, its not rosemary. There isn't a taste to it yet, but smells familiar. There is a little bud in the middle like it will flower soon.

Thinking herb of some sorts.

Could be oregano? Just a guess

Hmm good guess, but oregano has bigger leaves, and they grow up...this plant seems to be growing out a little more, just one single bud in the middle.

it is soft, not furry. Trying to describe it better lol

Hm, gotcha.
im not a botanist in any way so I have no idea

Thuja - dwarf cedar?

I don't think its a tree Falk, Dont think a school would have kids plant trees in either a little egg carton, or a plastic cup...that's where we transplanted this from.
Had talked to the lady in charge of one of the things the boys brought home, and she had stated basil, or chives they were planting but this is not either or. >< So am assuming it came from the school.

I mean, it looks like some of the trees out there, but as far as I know, trees dont have a flower bulb in the middle like it has.

Ah no...looks quite a different leaf in the close-up.

Maybe a variety of dill?

Yeah, that might be it! Not sure if I have ever had dill in anything, I've never grown it, strange plant to me. :D Much thanks!

from the first picture it did look like a small sapling but tree don't produce flower at that stage. It dosn't seem to have normal leaves. Look if it's a suculent plant, otherwise it may be from the licopodiophite group as from what i can see it dosn't look like vascular plant. I hope it help a bit. ^-^

Got an answer!
This was furthest from my mind!

Matricaria is a genus of flowering plants in the Chamomile tribe within the (sunflower family). Some of the species have the common name of "mayweed," but this name also refers to plants not in this genus.

Most are very common in the temperate regions of Europe, Asia, and America, as well as in northern and southern Africa, and some are naturalised in Australia. Matricaria occidentalis is native to North America; other species have been introduced there.

These are hardy, pleasantly aromatic annuals, growing along roadsides in ruderal communities and in fallow land rich in nutrients. Though many are considered nuisance weeds, they are suitable for rock gardens and herb gardens, and as border plants.

Their many-branched stems are prostrate to erect, glabrous, and very leafy. Their bipinnate leaves have numerous linear, narrowly lobed leaflets.

The flowers are radially symmetrical. The greenish-yellow capitula are semi-spherical. The white ray florets can be present (M. recutita) or lacking (M. discoidea). The disc florets are 4- to 5-dentate. The receptacle is 23 times as high as wide. The pappus may be crown-shaped and short, or lacking.

Matricaria species are used as food plants by the larvae of some Lepidoptera species (caterpillars) including Lime-speck Pug.

The extract of Matricaria recutita (German chamomile) is taken as a strong tea. It has been used in herbal medicine as a carminative and anti-inflammatory. It is also used in ointments and lotions, and as a mouthwash against infections of mouth and gums. Aromatherapy uses two essential oils of chamomile: the "true chamomile" oil (or German chamomile oil, from M. recutita) and the Roman chamomile oil (from Chamaemelum nobile).
