Onion Sets
tim:
DP - they do like a rich soil, though not as important for sets as for seed sown plants - 'he' says! So old muck or good compost. They would also appreciate a dressing of general fertiliser.
600? This year we got 30 - white rot! - Tim
Beer_Belly:
Is now the right time to plant onions ? or am I missing something ?
I know it's garlic time but onions? what type?
teresa:

mine are 'electric' which are reds and 'summergold' which are yellow. just been delivered by marshalls so i bloody hope its the right time :D
they are autumn sets, the blokes down our lotties call them japanese onions....
tim:
don't let's get confused - autumn onions go in now - most go in in March, or thereabouts - like shallots - garlic can go in now or as late as February - read the instructions! - Tim
