Default When do I thin onions?

Arg...all my seed packets got thrown away.

I planted a row of onions, and I was wondering how big they should be
before I thin them. The sprouts are only about 1/2" right now.

Depending on close they are and what kind they are, wait until they get
pencil width, then you can eat them.

Unless they're really tight I pull them when they're big enough for
green onions.

Okay...thanks. I sowed them in a continuous row, knowing that I'd be
thinning them. So they're coming up like grass.
