Two Onion Family Questions

I wasn't able to get a small six pack of onion seedlings in the ground in time. I assume it's too late to plant them, would you grow them and eat the foliage or just toss them?

I sowed Scallion seeds over a week ago and no sign of them yet, could I have planted them too deep? The seed pack said 1/2" deep which I did. Should I sow them again, more shallow? They were fresh seed this year.

It's too late for the onions in the six pack to bulb but they are usable at any time. Plant them and either snip off the greens for use like chives or let them grow and pull them as green onions.

A half inch seems deep (to me) for onion seeds but there are too many variables to know what caused them to not sprout. Try sprouting them in cell packs or flats for transplanting.

Thanks, I'll try both those suggestions. :-)
