My landlady decided that she's too old to garden this year, so she's letting my fiance and I have all her lovely garden beds to use. We've been tilling them and getting them ready for our plants over the past week. Some of the beds have plants in them from her old garden. Some we can easily identify (spinach, chard), some were easily google-able (red mustard), and some have remained a mystery. Our landlady is Korean and doesn't speak English very well, so asking her doesn't help much.
Anyway, we have one mystery plant that we decided not to disturb, but we can't figure out what it is.
-The part above ground looks like a leek w/ the fan like leaves
-The root system has one main root that goes off to the side. It's about the size of my pinky finger. There are other, smaller, hair-like roots as well.
-If you cut into the bottom of the plant, it has layers, also like a leek
-It doesn't smell onion-y at all. It doesn't really smell at all.
-It's not a leek and it's also not an iris (doesn't have a rhizome like an iris would)
What could it be??
I might be able to get a picture of it later on.
