RE: Sprout, Sprout, Let It All Out!

This is interesting, because I know you can sow the onion sets into the ground during autumn, then leave nature to do the rest. Meaning snow can cover it and keep it warm and hydrated during winter, then they grow nicely once spring arrives.

We don't do that as my dad likes to plow the garden and once you sow the onion sets, there's no way you can plow it. This is why he is sowing in spring.
