Hi All,
It has been two weeks since I planted my onion seeds.
Everything else I planted is coming up, but not
the onions.
How long do they typically take?
Many thanks,

Last year on 5/21/21 I planted some of my saved Stuttgart Onion seeds
and my notes it says they came up on 06/05/21 so, 15 days. Those I
planted never got bigger than the bulb sets I usually put out, but I'm
in Zone 4.

So I need to learn some patience!

How did the branches you had in water go?

do you have any clay in that soil and have you been
keeping them evenly moist?
how deep did you plant them?
if you had a hot dry spell and there's not enough clay
and organic material in the soil to keep them evenly
moist then they're not going to have a good time trying
to grow. a layer of mulch over when it gets really hot
probably would also help.
did any come up since? have you continued to water
the location where you planted the seeds?

No clay. Decomposed sandstone mixed in with a ton of peet.
About 5:1 peet to silt ratio.
how deep did you plant them?
About 1/4 to 1/2". I fertilized (organic 4-4-6) and
turned the soil over before planting. I can work
the soil with my hands. It is loose.

I bet you called it. I hvae not watered them
a bunch, fearing I'd make them rot

Zero yet. Hopefully they are still dormant and
a bunch of water will wake the up.
Nothing.

get some fresh seeds. i'm just harvesting the seed tops
from the Tokyo green onions and they are a very acceptable
green onion.
my regular onions (red, yellow and white long day onions)
are flowering so they won't cross pollinate much with the
green onions because those mostly bloom earlier. i won't
keep any seeds from the green onions that are blooming now
but i like to leave the flowers on the plants because the
bees really like them.

Sow on the top or cover them a bit?
