Is it too late to plant 'Autumn planting' onions?
« on: November 19, 2008, 16:13 »
I saw these in an online catalogue and as I haven't had a chance to get any onions in yet, thought it would be a good idea to get them in now, rather than waiting til next year, but didn't know if it was too late really.  My plot is not really boggy or anything, and we've only had a couple of frosts so far (two or three weeks back).  I know the climate is meant to be a bit better for a bit longer here in the South (Bristol), and didn't know if that meant it was still technically autumn as oppoesed to winter!  If I did get them, when(ish) would they be ready?
Here's the link...

Get some in, nothing to lose, most of the growth is in spring. Should be ready about June time, but can be pulled earlier before maturity if wished.
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?
