Do you do this outdoors too or does it seem nuts to you, Worth?

Same here. The starting of the onion seeds in mid-January signals the start of the year's growing season and something I look forward to every winter.
While I do direct sow what I can (beans, cukes, zukes, most herbs), I have no clue if onions are candidates given that our soil is still frozen well into March/April.
Worth -- keep us posted on how yours do!
