To grow large size Onions, plant sets in the spring, 
but for home use, a good grade of medium sized 
Onions can be grown in one year directly from seed. 
In the latter case sow the seed just as soon as the 
ground is free of frost and warm. After the plants 
are up spring frosts will not injure them. Sow seed 
very thin, later thin out to about 4 inches distance, 
and this will make you fine onions for winter use by 
fall. Market gardeners sow the seed late, and not very 
thin, this makes good sets for the next year. Cover 
seed about 14 inch.
