They take some learning. We start ours inside in February and get about 75% germination. They get transplanted out in spring. You have to pick the right type long or short day onions for your area. We grow enough in a 4x8 raised bed to last all year. It took a long time to get it right. Never had luck with sets.
Last spring I bought 1 tomato plant ahead of anything. I babied that plant till I was sure no frost. Had a special place for it and so on.planted it and was growing good. Then over 3 inches of rain came and drowned it. Along with that came the powerd mildew stuff. Next year most of my garden will be in raised beds. Though those rain gave me a bumper crop of black rasberry, peaches, pawpaws, persimmons.
Raised beds are a great idea. They take a little more water management , dry out faster. We have 16 4x8 beds. They are not filled with soil. They are 1/3 compost, peat moss, perlite. The beauty is NO weeds until the birds plant them. They remain controllable.
I don't garden but have been told that I don't qualify as a farmer because we only have less then 100 acres that we plant and a very large portion of that is left for our main crop WHITE TAILS
That's what I have seen I put bails of straw down then compost and other dirt on top. Straw Will decompose over winter some and plants have little problem of getting roots in them
