It was forecasted to get down to 18F and stay below freezing for 15 hours last Friday morning, so I put the last of the onions that had not sprouted in a sack and then inside a taped up cardboard box. It didn't get that cold - only 25F for a couple of hours. They were in the box for 4 days because I was curious if they would sprout in the dark like potatoes do. The pictures says it all.

These onions are both hybrids and others are OPs. I want to plant them out in the woods behind our house and just let them grow however nature grows them.

If anyone is curious to why we didn't just eat them - they smell like a sweaty pair of teenager's tennis shoes.
