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.

FWIW, seconded. These look basically identical the grape hyacinth bulbs in my yard.

You can check by making a tea out of them. I don't recommend drinking it (it's mostly just "green" flavor), but it works as a pH indicator. If you add a bit of lemon juice, it should turn pink!
