Onions from Seed in Zone 6

I've read a lot of conflicting info on when to start my onion seeds in zone 6. I've come up with this and am looking for your thoughts. The kinds I have are:
Tropeanda Tonda
Yellow Borettana
Dorata di Parma

The plan is to sow thickly in 3x3 co. on 2-15. Diluted fish fert every 2x. not to thin. cut back leaves to 3" every two weeks. Plant out as transplants on 4-15.

Does this timing sound right?
Unrelated question; can you chop and freeze onions right away or do you have to wait the 3-4 months to cure before chopping and freezing?

Thanks for the info.

PS I did great concentrating on my peppers last year because of all your good advice. Next year -- onions!!
