I had a mishap where my tray of onion seedlings got knocked over, and I'm trying to salvage what I can. I'm wondering if it's possible to start a new batch of onion seeds now. The seeds I have are 115 days DTM. Considering the last frost is around May 15th and the first frost is roughly October 15th, do you think I have enough time for them to grow? I usually don't rely on packet timing, so I'm looking for some real-world experience. Thanks in advance!

You can just plant them outside now. Onions can handle frost and even light freezes, so they should be fine!
Just a heads up, they might be smaller if you plant them later since they bulb based on daylight hours rather than their age. But definitely try to get them sown as soon as possible—you should still be able to get medium-sized onions!
Onion seedlings are quite resilient! Have you tried replanting the ones that fell? I've had onions that made it through winter, so they’re tougher than you might think!
