I've got no clue how to grow onions directly sowed so I'd like to hear how you do it. I live in a cold climate and have to start seeds indoors by January. The indoor technique is a lot of work but its fun when there's not much else growing. You have to help get them out of the potting soil, get the seed off and give them endless haircuts. Do you do this outdoors too or does it seem nuts to you, Worth?
