Growing bunching onions from seeds

Question

I have some bunching onion (green onion) seeds. I have been trying to grow them indoors in small 1x1 inch pods. I also tried to plant them directly outdoors in my raised bed. I had no success so far in getting them to germinate. Any pointers on how to germinate bunching onions would be appreciated. I am in the San Francisco / Bay Area.

Answer 1

I can answer how I grew mine. I collected the seeds from one that I planted from the supermarket. In mid summer I scattered the seeds onto some potting mix in a raised bed (an old bath), lightly covered it with more mix, and then spread black weed mat over it to protect from birds as well as increase the humidity level.

The seeds germinated in less then two weeks.
