Thank you all for your replys but, I forgot to ask is it time to start them of now

[Hugh_Jones]

I think I`d wait until the weather forecast improves a bit - probably next week.

I always start some of mine in 3" pots. Then plant them on using the bulb planter!
However, don't forget, that onions like firm ground when growing otherwise they have a tendancy to go to seed. And, red onion sets will have a tendancy to go to seed if planted to early.
