Growing onions or leeks from seed is not at all difficult; it just takes a bit more time. Seeds should be started in January or February in order for the seedlings to be ready to go out into the garden in May or June. Starting your own seed allows you a lot more variety options to choose from than when purchasing plants or sets. The cost is also more economical compared to purchasing plants or sets. There is still time to get your own onion seeds started for this year within the next couple weeks.Â
I have been gardening my whole life, and producing informational videos for friends and family on Facebook for a couple years. I start most of my garden plants from seed each year and always have extra tomato and pepper plants for sale in the spring.Â
