Last year for the first time, I tried planting a bag of red onion
bulbs. They were planted among the rows of peppers and eggplants,
which did well. So all these plants were mounded slightly higher than
the walking rows in between. All the onions put up a few green
leaves and then died back. In the fall, digging in there, there was
nary a single sign of any onion ever being there. Advice for this
year?

When did you plant the bulbs? If you planted them the same time as the
peppers and egg plants, then the problem is you planted them way too
late and the May heat got them.

You needed to plant onions back in mid-February. By may they will have
bolted and died back. Sounds like yours did not have enough growing
time to even bolt to seeds.
