Onions followed by....onions

As my first year as a proper allotment holder I have finally got to grips with the spring and summer parts of veg growing but am now trying to figure out growing stuff over winter. I have some informal crop rotation going such that one type of crop isnt planted in the same place for more than one year running but dont have the proper ''one specific group of veg should follow another specific sort'' regime of true crop rotation.

So in drawing up my plans for next year I have discovered that the best place suitable for the overwintering onions is where this springs planted onions were. Will this be a problem ? The spring 2010 planting of onion sets will be planted elsewhere on the plot when the time comes.

A few of this years onions went a bit mouldy in the July rain but I have left the ground fallow for a few weeks to give the soil a mini break. Will my plan be ok or should I try and alter it ?

Thanks for listening to me ramble on.

Thanks pushrod.

I will treat the soil  to a dressing of pelleted chicken poo before I put them in then. Hopefully that will keep them happy.

Thanks Learner,

Just looked up white rot and think some of the onions had this. I better revise my plans then. Now I just have to work out what overwinntering veg I can put in the old onion bed.
