Please identify a unique plant I saw in a few veggie gardens. I'm in the south and am curious.?

The plants are in a veggie garden. Tall hardy green stems with fist size grayish green balls atop the stem. They're planted in a row and it looks as though some have been cut down to a few inches of stem.

Elephant garlic has a round ball on top when it blooms. They are about the size of a hard ball.
Reply:Artichoke? See the attached web site.





Add: no leaves? Sorry, no idea. Could you ask the gardener?





Add #2: ah, yes, it could be Allium. Sorry, my head was stuck on "vegetabe"!

Reply:Could be Kohl Rabi. You cut the globe off the stem to eat it.
