Onion plants

[adeymoo]

Wishing to planting something before winter, especially strawberry runners for next year I came across onion and shallot sets for sale on tinternet for planting in August along with a selection of brassica plants. I thought onion sets were for feb / march planting. Anyone planted sets in August?

 Hi all,
          NO :o seems far too early to me for overwintering onions, I won`t be planting mine until end of September/early October. This year had great results with electric red HEAT TREATED, these did not bolt.
