anyone here grow onions from seed?
we normally grow our yellow onions from sets from the greenhouse, but i've managed to get some seed heads on an onion sprout that was left over from last year.
now i have three large flower heads full of seeds ripening and would enjoy hearing from people who've done this.
my basic plan is to get the seeds planted as soon as i can get a spot for them and then they'll grow through the fall and come back next year to form the onion bulb.
if i want more seeds i'll have to leave an onion from this year alone to flower again next year.
another type of onion question.
i have picked up some bunching onion seeds and they say to plant in the spring so i'll do that. but for flowering and more seed production could i put some of those out now and get them going so they will bloom next year or do i need to wait until spring and they will bloom the same season like our chives do?
thanks for your replies.
