Start onion seeds today without fancy growing equipment. Onions need to be started 10-12 weeks before the last frost date. So for me here in Utah that means end of January.
I love using clear clam shell containers for seed starting because the lid works as a perfect humidity dome. You can also use lettuce or bakery boxes. Just make sure your container has drainage and you’re good to go.
Fill with moist seed starting mix, evenly distribute seeds, and cover with 1/4” seed starting mix.
Add a light layer of vermiculite for extra moisture retention and mist the layer of vermiculite with a spray bottle.
Label the seeds and remove the lid once the seedlings start to emerge.
Simple as that!
