Revisiting--Thanks! Re: Another Fall Planting question

Square Foot Gardening List - http://www.flinet.com/~gallus/sqft.html

So Olin, do you know if northern VA (zone 7--7A?) falls into southern or 
northern latitudes when it comes to onion planting times?  I've read about 
long-day/short-day in a couple places but I just don't get it.  I probably 
just need to find someone knowledgeable/experienced locally to tell me about 
it.

I'm really new to onions.  What are bunching onions, anyway?  Does that mean 
you plant a bunch of seeds close together and they make small bulbs instead 
of big onions?

Thanks--

Kristina
