I thought leeks went in earlier so I had reserved another patch for those,does this mean that my ails a Craig onions that have been started from seed can go in at the same time or do they go in earlier

I'd get onions in earlier, they will need to be in, so they can be out by August(ish). Leeks will sit there over winter.
