     if you want just regular bulbed eating onions those would   
   be sprouted early in the season and then grown to bulb size   
   and then harvested.  if you want to use tiny bulbs as starts   
   for the following year that can happen but it is not as   
   predictable as the size of the tiny bulbs plus the climate   
   of your growing season may end up having all your planted   
   starts end up flowering (which is what happened to me this   
   season due to the dry and hot weather).  this was even after   
   i selected the tiny bulbs and not those that were larger.  i   
   now have a few hundred seed heads i'll have to harvest.  eeks!   
      
     if you want green onions for this fall and early winter   
   you can plant those seeds anytime now.  keep them as evenly   
   moist as possible until they sprout.   
      
     you can eat the green onions grown from seeds anytime   
   after they've sprouted.  if you want some of those to go to   
   flower and give you more seeds next year leave them alone   
   to come up next spring.
