They're called spring onions but I find that they'll grow all year round. It's usual to sow seeds in spring through summer. A late summer to early autumn sowing will give the plants enough time to grow large enough to last right through winter.
Let them grow close together or you can grow them in clumps. I sprinkle seeds along shallow drills and backfill lightly. Keep the soil damp until seeds have germinated.
Don't mulch up to any plants in the onion family.
Spring onions are great in stir fries, salads and tabbouleh - check out the recipes section of the site.
