Horntoad, my confusion was not seeing any discernable segmentation in the layers when I sliced through the bulb. It didn't look like garlic and it didn't look like an onion. Josephine pointed out it needed to mature. I think I dug it up too soon. And now I wonder if I shouldn't just chuck it all, except for the little seed bulbs that were hanging on? Not sure if it's good to eat.
