You don't, you buy them.   Growing onion sets is a specialist occupation.  :D

The orginal reply could be WG's twisted sense of humour.

If you mean 'how do you grow onions from sets?", the simple answer is - you buy them early spring, push them in the ground. Sit around for 5 months or so, then harvest the onions. Except............

Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?

In truth, that is what I understood the question to be.  Especially given the time of year.

It is also true that I possess a twisted - sometimes caustic - sense of humour.  So BEWARE.
