I have always used onion sets in the past and never gotten big onions. Thought i would try seeds for the first time. Am i too early??
I have some candy onions also that i will plant in the next week or so.
I think you are just in time.
If you read and re read the link about onions It would appear that as long as you could control the environment you could grow them as big as you wanted.
They would never think they were going into the second year and continue to bulb.

I was just about to give up on my seeds and today they have just now started to come up.
