I bought some vidalia onions from my local grocery store here in Southeast Coastal Georgia and they quickly sprouted. The temperatures are in the mid 90s, so I'm wondering if I can plant this onion in the ground now, or will it be too hot for it?

Growing onions from an onion is a great way to use those that have sprouted.
