For the first time I have grown around 50 onion plants from seed.  They are doing well, although perhaps it is a bit late in the season?  They are about 5 inches tall and 0.5 cm wide at the bottom.  Now, what I would like to know, is will they survive being moved from their current position, as they need much more space than they currently have.  To be honest, I did not think they would grow from seed, but it was John Harrison's book that encouraged me to try...any advice would be appreciated.  Thanks!

Where are they? Can you move them with a rootball? Are they overwintering?

If not...cant you just thin them out? (its a killer I know)

They are currently in a raised bed - but in a smal area (not final home).  I didn't think they would grow so well, so did not plan at all for success.  Not sure what you mean by rootball?  Is there a worry if the roots are disturbed to much?  I don't think they are an overwintering variety, but will check tomorrow.  Thinning is going to the last resort I think. Thanks!
