You're looking at a couple of plantains, genus Plantago.
Generally not welcome in most gardens.

Because they're invasive, right? I don't mind them around (knowing that
they have some herbal/medicinal value which I think is just neat) but I
wouldn't be *inviting* any more into my garden than get there by themselves.

Weedy, yes. And how do you propose to keep them from seeding? BTW, several
species (don't recall which off the top of my head) are considered noxious
weeds in some states, which could get you in some hot water in some
circumstances.
