Vegetable responsibility

There is a note pinned to the front door telling me to look in the garden.

I go outside, nothing has changed. Then I notice there are some new plants in the vegetable patch.
A clump of something I do not recognise and a row of cut down spring onions type vegetables ... but they have bulbs, so they can't be spring onions.

Just as I take off my wellies, the phone rings.

It is Chantel, 'Did you find my present?'
 
'Yes, thank you, what are they?'

'Oseille and ciboulette.'

I am none the wiser... Google will save me from embarrassment yet again.

'Nicole, the ciboulette bulbs come from my great grandfather, so please don't kill them.'

Now, why did she have to say that?.. talk about a curse of death !!...

Does anyone have any idea what these two vegetable are before I have to resort to Google?
Oseille is French for ........
Ciboulette is french for .......
