seeds or bulbs?

if you want just regular bulbed eating onions those would
be sprouted early in the season and then grown to bulb size
and then harvested. if you want to use tiny bulbs as starts
for the following year that can happen but it is not as
predictable as the size of the tiny bulbs plus the climate
of your growing season may end up having all your planted
starts end up flowering (which is what happened to me this
season due to the dry and hot weather). this was even after
i selected the tiny bulbs and not those that were larger. i
now have a few hundred seed heads i'll have to harvest. eeks!

if you want green onions for this fall and early winter
you can plant those seeds anytime now. keep them as evenly
moist as possible until they sprout.

you can eat the green onions grown from seeds anytime
after they've sprouted. if you want some of those to go to
flower and give you more seeds next year leave them alone
to come up next spring.

I planted seeds in early May. They are about four
to five inches tall now. Me thinks this is possibly
a two year thing.

I suppose it would help if I linked to what onions
I planted.

i have an onion called Tokyo here that is a bunching onion
and i've had no problem at all overwintering them here in
mid-Michigan. no mulch used to protect them at all for the
past two years. they will bloom the following year.

> They are both about four to five inches tall.

if planted in early May they are growing very slowly
to only have reached that size by now.

harvest some to eat when you want but for the bunching
onions don't thin them out too much. bulb onions do
better with enough space between them so they should be
thinned out.
