Start onion seed about 8 - 12 weeks before your transplant date. Plant onion seed about 1/4 - Â½ deep. You can plant thickly and thin at transplant time. Keep the soil moist.

Depending on the variety, bulb onions grown from transplants or sets will need about 3 months to reach maturity. Many onions are ready to pull up and harvest by late summer, roughly late July or early August. In the Northern states onion bulbs are generally allowed to become as ripe as possible before harvest.
