Default Onion seed question

How long should I wait after my onions drop seed before I replant the

i.e. a period of cold storage/weather?

Are the answers different for radish seed?

Thanks

No special storage, except they are pretty much only good for one year.
Plant them as soon as the ground can be worked in late winter and let
them decide when to come up. (i was going to try planting them in early
winter just before the ground freezes and see what happens and I didn't
get a round tuit)

I think radish seeds are good for several years. No special treatment
at all required.
