Is it best to plant onion seeds, onion plants or onion sets in the garden?
Onion sets are easiest to handle and develop quickly for green onions as well as onions for winter storage. Onion plants are slower to develop but also produce good crops. Plants are used for growing the Bermuda and Spanish type onions. Seeds for onions may be started early in coldframes or in the garden and thinned. They are suitable for green onions in early summer, but usually hot weather arrives and long day lengths stop growth before large sized onions can develop.
