    You could ask him in a non-accusatory manner, and if you dislike someone smoking in the garden ask him to ask her to move.

    Maybe you should ask him to introduce you to her. It's still your house.

    Totally agree with this

    I think it's fine to ask. Maybe in a lighthearted way so he doesn't take it the wrong way. You're his mom and it's your house, it's perfectly normal to be curious!

    I'm going to take the "who cares if you are impolite about it" angle.

    When he moved into the garage did you discuss any rules? if so you both should respect them, If not maybe it's time to set some.
    I would wait until she leaves so you don't embarrass him.

    He's 20 and still living at home, I support this ^ suggestion.

    Is he paying rent and is there a lease or some sort of legal agreement in affect?

    If not, ask away-- It's your house, and he's still technically living under your roof. Even if it is seperate rooms.

    Mystery solved -his best friend is there too and it's his girlfriend-I missed them arriving during cleaning :-)
