Did you pull it up to see what the bulbs look like?

Allium?
Run your hand up the leaves or stem, is there an onion or garlic smell? Sometimes there are flowering varieties

Yeah, but I think since it was in a vegetable/herb garden, it's probably just regular onions that have bolted. |

It's from the allium family, my guess is garlic.

Thanks ladies I started to give a pull to the root and DD10 yelled, "No!" LOL. So I figured I would ask the peas first. I did just google leek flower to see if it looked like ours and allium came up. My leeks are budding what do I do? So let go, it seems they are one and the same. But I could plant new leeks with the seeds of the flower. |

This was an onion variety I grew one year. It got up to about 4 ft 5 in tall. When they flower you are supposed to bend them over at the base by ground so it cuts off the stalk so they can put energy into growing the bulb (onion). This was a few years ago and I think they were an heirloom variety of red onions.

I think those used to grow in my dad's garden when I was a kid. My guess is onions.

Looks to me like scallions our green onions that weren't picked early so they got huge. I often plant the ends after I buy and use green onion and they grow again. One summer I let it grow a bunch and didn't pick it until it looked like that and it was way too strong tasting. Now I just pick off a piece each week and they keep growing back, so I use them in cooking more if I can so they don't get too strong and go to seed.

Ha, I missed your caption the first time around and only saw the picture. Now that I've actually read the part about the stems being hollow, it's just a bolted onion. Yours don't look like they have much of a bulb left, but if they do, cut off the flowers and you can leave them in until you want to use them or you can pull out any bulbs now to use. Otherwise, with the flowers left on, they will turn woody and unusable.
