We tried sowing onions (Buffalo) in late summer and planting out in
late October. Then covering with rowcover for the winter. We had
a lot of winter-kill (we're zone 6b), and lots of weeds. Now we sow
in late Sept or early Oct, in a cold frame, and plant out in early
spring. That works better for us. This year I'm going to try sowing in
a bed and covering the seedlings with rowcover, then with a
portable coldframe later (so that our main coldframes can be used
for more salads).
