Like you, Ken, I love to try new things. The problem is that I am not very good about researching the conditions that will make the experiment a success. If it works, great. If not, move on. Not terribly efficient or effective. Each year I try to do better.
The onions I planted in pots that were doing so well are rotting. The tops were drooping so I watered. Big mistake. Today or tomorrow I will prepare one of the raised beds then depot the remaining onions and put them in the bed. They might survive. Will also plant what I have left in bags. I suspect planting indoors is a waste of time. They mature quickly enough to be planted in May and still produce onions. Or did I read that you should also plant them in the fall like garlic?
