water logged

Hi We have been having a lot of rain down here in France and my garden is completely water logged. I have taken a chance and put my onion sets into small cell plant pots and put them in the cold from to get going then in April when the weather and the garden have cheered up they will be ready to plant out a little more work but at least the will be growing when the go in. I am going to do the same with my shallots but use a little bit bigger pot. Big question has anybody else done this and was it successful ? The best onions I ever had were seedling planted out in May they were huge at the end of the growing season, I put this down to growing unchecked by the weather I am hoping something similar will happen with these sets because the danger of frosts will have passed by the time they go in.
