     so you want to plant seeds and expect them to   
   survive until spring and then to start growing?   
      
     i guess you could try it and some will take but   
   the spacing and thinning will likely need to be   
   adjusted otherwise you won't get very good results   
   if you are trying to get onion bulbs.  if you are   
   instead just interested in green onions then you   
   can plant more seeds more closely spaced and then   
   pull and thin as they develop and eat what you   
   remove.
