Should be around 40-50. But with fall gardening days to maturity is longer due to solar.exposure getting weakerI probably waited too long to germinate seeds. Will have check days to maturity.

Generally for starting seeds figure 6-8 weeks before planting plants. Cole crop hybrids are usually 50-70 days to maturity. For direct seeding in the ground figure mid August . With our existing warm weather you might give it a try.I probably waited too long to germinate seeds. Will have check days to maturity.
They won't make bulbs this fall /winter. Day length will be too short. The day length determines when they initiate the bulbing process depending on the variety. They should make good onions next year if they don't bolt and go to seed.I planted some onion sets in some big planters we used to keep around the pool before I removed the pool this spring. Got some great onions about 2-3" in diameter before we had to head off to Colorado for the summer. Used them and the greens for cooking.
Getting home a week ago, bought some onion seeds that went into the planters today. 110 days to maturity which probably won't happen, but I'll take whatever they produce. I hate seeing those big pots of soil out there without something growing in them.
I planted seeds.Just so we are on the same page. Sets are the little bulbs.View attachment 408418
Plants are usually in bundles when purchasingView attachment 408419
