Hi! Any idea on what those are? I found them in my raised bed while preparing it for the spring season. They look like little onions but have the texture of potatoes.

I live in Georgia, USA.

    They’re called corms. A number of plants reproduce this way. Yours look like my grape hyacinth, but could be some other flowering plant.

      Huh. TIL about Corms. And how they place relative to bulbs, rhizomes, and tubers. I used to think seed -> soil -> ??? -> profit.

      I guess, for me as a hobby grower that’s still unchanged. But I’m starting think about vegetation around me and how it tries to stay alive from season to season.
