Just incase any one is worrying about sowing onion seed, you will be alright sowing it at anytime in the next three months.
It's just us impatient gardeners can never wait, but the earlier you sow, the bigger onions you will get, as long as you grow them well.

Just thought you might like to know that the french traditionally sow onions and shallots on the longest day of the year that would be the 21st Dec.

I think you mean the shortest day, longest night.
