Just got out my envelopes of onion seed. All these are heirloom:

Yellow Sweet Spanish Utah - 110-130 days. Are these the Utah’s you mentioned?

Evergreen Bunching Onions - 60-120 days.

Borettana Cipollini Onions - 110-120 days.

Are you saying you’re planning onions now and they will be ready in the spring? Or will they be ready sometime in the winter? I’m confused.

It depends on what you mean by 'ready'. I'll be using them from the time the green tops are about 4" long, until they make full-size onions that can be stored at every stage in-between. Onions in some form or other are a 'most of the year' crop for me.

Yes, I think those are the Utah onions.

You can also use onion sets. Hubby plants onion sets in the spring for fall harvest. They look kinda like a garlic clove except they have the same coloring as a yellow onion.
