I'm looking at starting to grow onions from seed. Can you do it straight into the ground? as this is probably what I will have to do. thanks

Great video really clear and informative! Thanks so much Bernadette for uploading, new subscriber from New Zealand here!!

Thanks for sharing.

Dear Bernadette ,in my region (Dalmatia,Croatia,Adriatic region) ,people do not use seed but they buy small bulbs and seed them around february ,20 th.There is real danger of frost up to the middle of march,but because of trying to get earlier sale and better price,people take this risk.I produce only for my family and friends,and I wonder how much time would it take from sowing the seed(I would like to sow it around 20 th of march indoors and then transplant it) to the harvest of bulbs which i store by braiding.Thank You a lot.Video is awesome.

I have had great success with the onions, but they have stunted for some reason. I have been feeding them but maybe I have them buried to deep. Any suggestions?

Hi enjoy the videos, I wanted to find out about planting baby
store bought onions and if they will go to seed because they are a biennial
plant. I have small 1 inch white pearl onions. I prefer for them to go to seed
because from the seed I can grow the equivalent of welsh onions. I large green
head green onions. Do you think this plan makes sense and what are the chances
of success given your gardening experiences?

I was thinking of putting one seed in a drinks cup yes very hard work but think bigger onion chris in uk

I am here in Calgary. Can it be directly grown from seed?
