I have tried autumn planted onion sets and whilst they do come good a few weeks before the spring planted main crop, I have always found them to take up ground that could be better used with other crops. I say that because the autumn ones do not store very well and as they are ready in late June and my maincrop is ready in August, I prefer to pull a few maincrop ones prematurely as and when required.
Does anybody have any other thoughts on this or do you just plant them because you can, or are you influenced by the gardening press to plant them?
