Before becoming a Tomatoville member, my answer would be one sentence long:

I buy sets/starts from a mom and pop shop in January.

But that's too simple

Last October, some of the members were writing about starting onions from seed. "Salt, you gotta try it too"... I just happened to have a bunch of onions that I grew last spring. Some of them had green shoots starting, so I planted them in October. They overwintered just fine and before long, I'll have enough onion seeds to plant the world with onions.

Onions are biennials. The second year, they produce seeds. So, it looks like I'm going to learn how grow them by seed.
