Planted white and red onion sets last year. The reds were poor, neighbour has had asame experience. Whites OK.

Decided to dig section over, dig in chicken poo :cherry:  and then plant half the onions.

The other half will will get planted after I return from Canada :alien: Say 3 weeks. May be wetter then, may be drier. :scratch:

Seems a sort of sit on the fence decision :study:

I planted my first ever onion sets (i'm new to this game you know :? ) the other day on the advice of the garden centre I got them from, advice was get them in soon they have a gentle growing time until early next year and as it warms up they will increase in size.  Lady also said plant some in about 2 - 3 weeks for a later crop of the same onions ??  any one any thoughts on that for a newby  :roll:

They'll be grateful for some poo dug in now, if it's well rotten, I don't think there is going to be much difference in maturity from 2-3 weeks difference in planting. And I'd personally wait a wee bit with them.

Whereabouts are you, CMBS? You could put this in your profile, saves everybody forever asking. :D
