I was just reading Pigletwillie's thread on onions etc and it says. . .
'My onion sets will go in around the middle of March, later if the weather is bad. Too early and again the number of bolters increases dramatically, as you can pull onions at any time and use them green, there is no need to be too early.'
Mine generally go in at the beginning of March here in the South West on the closest onion 'moon day'! But it always depends on the weather.Life is too short for drama & petty things!
So laugh insanely, love truly and forgive quickly!

I don't usually plant out my onions grown from seed or my sets until April!My Majesty made for him a garden anew in order

This year (just!) I planted mine into cells in Jan/Feb as they were going manky and rotten in the container they came in. They faired ok and only one bolted from over 100 sets. I'd stick with the advice already given though and wait until later if you can.

I planted my japanese sets on the lottie at the end of November (know the name but cant begin to spell it!!!). The sturon will go in around late March, that was the date last year and I had a fantastic crop so have high hopes.
I dont think they like the cold and wet if they're only newly planted, so hang on a bit longer Bridget - not that I'm an expert, last year was my first!Life may not be the party we hoped for but since we're here we might as well dance
