Onions love cold.

Just try to get them through spring, or eat them like scallions now.

Also, when your little green balls on your cilantro harden and dry, you can save them as seeds. Or eat them green, they're delicious.

Oh... Do you think they could last through snow fall? sry 4 stoopih queshun...

Could i chop off the green parts and leave the rest in the soil? Would it self-seed?

Oh, nice! Thanks (: i only got a sprig or two from the cilantro (i grew that from seed, by the way!!! :D ), so i guess I'll be waiting on those seeds, hehe. We use them a lot in our cooking. Didn't know you could eat them while green. Neat!

I also forgot to mention that you can cut back the green and it will come back. Sorry about that.

The onion should make it through snow, mine did last year and it was a cold one!

As for the cilantro, you might want to seed more now (if you still have some). It likely bolted (went to seed/flower) because of hot weather. Now that things are cooling, you should have a lot more leaves and it won't get all lacey.
