Red Baron over Winter

J_B · « **on:** September 12, 2013, 09:09 »

Was cleaning up the garage over the weekend and came across a packet of red baron onions that i forgot to plant. Do you think i an just try it out and see if it grows. or s it not worth the time planting it out. I may be able to put some debris netting over the onions over the winter to give them some extra protections. your comments appreciated.

Were these sets originally for spring planting? Are they still solid and in good condition?

If they are, then I suppose you haven't got anything to lose by planting them out but if they do grow and overwinter, they might just go to seed instead of bulbing up next year. I don't think they are likely to store until spring next year either. It's up to you whether you want to risk it but if it was me, I think I would rather get fresh sets for overwintering.

if they're in good nick I'd wait til April. I had a lovely crop of red onions this year and I checked on the planting date and thought I'd do the same again this year as it worked. Mind you a lot depends on the weather
