Why Won't My Green Onions Sprout?
I have tried twice to grow green onions in a container and only got one from my first attempt. The temp is mild, the birds have been kept away and I've been giving it water, sun and fertilizer. What's wrong?

May I suggest: Make sure your seed is fresh. Onion seed loses viability rather quickly as seed goes. Plant them 1/2 inch deep, water and put in a warm place. The top of the refrigerator works. Do not fertilize nor worry about sunlight until you see them emerge. The main thing is that they remain damp and warm for a few days. I plant onion seed directly in the garden where it will grow and always plant 1/2 inch deep. Do you want some onion seed? Send me your address.
