Hi All,

I can't get onion seeds to sprout for my life.

I plant them about 1/4 deep, about 3" away from
each other, and water them.Â*Â* Zip.Â* Nothing.

Is there any trick to onions seeds?

Many thanks,

Â* I think you might be planting them too deep . IIRC rule of thumb is
twice as deep as the size of the seed , those are so tiny you might try
just a very light dusting to barely cover them . I tried onions from
seed one time , now I buy the bulbs or seedlings .
