If you’re going to start from seed, it’s time to buy onion seeds.
There does seem to be some disagreement about whether starting onion seeds inside makes sense. Some gardeners are getting ready to do that now while others opt for buying onion sets later in the season.
Either way, it’s time to decide.
I’ve decided this late in the season (May in New England) I have 2 choices. One is to plant green onions and the other is to plant onion seeds to grow sets for next year.
I’m not positive I’ll get bulbs from these seeds. The seeds do say start indoors and everything else I’ve read suggests starting these indoors during the winter and early spring.
But what I’m also being told is that no matter what the seeds I’ll still have green onions all summer. Since the rest of my garden’s in, I think I’ll give it all a try.
So I’m going to be planting onion seeds for both the green onions and the sweet yellow onions. I’ll keep you posted.
