Why do all the stores you buy gardening supplies from carry garlic for
fall planting but not onions?

If they are any good, nurseries will stock things like onion sets and |
seed potatoes only when it is the optimum time for planting them in
their locale. In Southern California, for example, if you plant onions
now you will only get green onion results. If you want bulb onions you
have to wait till November to plant. Best thing is to find a good
nursery and ask them. -aem |

Maybe you can easily plant onion seeds but not garlic seeds. I've
always use onion seeds and garlic cloves for planting. |

Probably because garlic needs to be planted in the fall for good
results. Onions can be planted in the spring and that's what most people do. |

Duh! Now why didn't I think of that! I do it all the time for other
things.
Thanks for the reminder

If you check my sig you will see I spend 1/2 the year in Ontario and 1/2
in S. Texas. So November is when I want to plant. But a little early is
ok as we've already planted our garlic. I've checked 3 nurseries as well
as numerous garden sections in stores. thanks. |

I plant both my garlic and my multiplier onions in the Fall in
Michigan. I save my seed bulbs from year to year of course. Multiplier
onions will give you 3 to 6 new bulbs for each one you plant. They are
similar to shallots but bigger (on average, golf ball size, the seed
bulbs about twice as big), excellent flavor, good storage, a bit more
difficult to peel than regular onions. I bought my onions many years
ago from Territorial Seeds. |

Thanks for the info. It's much appreciated. I'm not far from you. In
Southern Ontario.

Not to me. I doubt they ship to Canada.
