I was bought some winter onion sets last week. I normally plant my winter onion sets last week in September. Is it to late to plant winter onion sets middle of November ??? ???
Thanks all :)

Great thanks. I will try and get down the allotment this week and bung some in :)
I was late by planting mid November last year. I put a cloche over them to play catch up and ended up with better crop than some other plotholders.
I think the weather is more a factor than the month. As already said... should be fine.
I still haven't got my elephant garlic in - normally done early October.

Good point about the weather. This year we have had rubbish tomatoes as there has been no sun and it has been a cool summer in my opinion. So the weather played a big factor in my tomatoe crops this year. Also my summer seed onions where rubbish and they are normally better than set type onions >:(
Just put my onion sets & garlic in last week and covered with hay and some grass clippings.

I know what you mean... my butternut squash crop was something to be hidden not shouted about this year :(
