Well, sometimes you don't get off to a good start. After a month of trying to start Candy onion and Exhibition onion seeds - they're not looking good. I did everything the same way as I have before. Pro mix, not too wet or too dry, very lightly covered seeds, the right amount of light to darkness, etc. But who knows, maybe I needed to do something different or there could be so many other possibilities. Stuff happens, and yet as a gardener, we want every seed to germinate and grow and produce well.
Store-bought transplants will be ready in January which 4 years ago was the only way I planted onions. That's how my father planted onions - and my grandfather. If you read countless online sites, transplants and bulbs is the easiest way.
"Onions for 2019" is the name of the thread, and this is still late November 2018.
