I may have jumped too soon. I have some onions planted. The bulbs havent come up yet. They were just planted last week. Now we had snow and below freezing temps. Will they be ok? Thanks,
Julie

Same here. My wife had some left over bunch onions from the grocery store. They were going bad, so I washed them, snipped off any bad parts and stuck them in the ground several months ago. A regular freeze doesn't bother them at all, but a hard freeze will partially kill the tops back. But I get the feeling that the onions are mostly just sitting there waiting to take off when the weather warms a bit and the hard freezes are over.

I think you'll be just fine. I planted my onions plants and sets in mid-February and they have survived several 20 degree nights since then. I was worried too, and covered them a few nights, but aside from the tops being bent over some from the tarp covering, they are growing well and green as all get-out! I think hope pray the colder temps are gone from us here in Northern Alabama.
....it's just so hard to wait, isn't it??
