I watched a video today and it said to start them mid January and plant them out mid April since our last frost is typically beginning of May. I’m in zone 6 also but in NH. My onions did poorly last year but that was because I didn’t space them enough or fertilize them enough. It’s a learning curve every year.
Hmm, I’m scared I’ll be too late or something so I think I’ll just get to planting beginning of January and just hope for the best 😩. Maybe two separate starting times. First 60 in beginning of the month and second set in the middle 🤔
Hey! Im in zone 6a Illinois. Ill start my onions the first part of january, & plant them out mid to late march. My frost date is April 21st. This will only be my second year doing onions. My first year i ordered seedlings from gurney seed. I didnt fet the big bulbs i was hoping for. I did order from dixondale farms for 2025, just in case mine dont do well. Ive heard so many people mention dixondale farms, so thats why i went with them for 2025. Good luch girl!
You can put out onions before last frost as long as you harden them off properly. You really should start them now. I'm in zone 5 and put mine out first week of April.

Okk. I’m going to start them this week. Seems to be the consensus that I should start them now. Wish me luck 🍀
Hey Nay! Still waiting in my MI gardener package. USPS held my mail up with the holidays. Now I need to see what works for me in 6b in Missouri.
Sheesh! I had an order from another company take a while too. The holidays are messing with our packages 😩
