I assume you mean Japanese over-wintering? i dont grow them myself,though a fellow plotholder only put hers in this morning.

The onion sets I sell say to plant Sept/Oct so your not too late. You could probably get away with early Nov as well as onion sets can't read or tell the seasons apart. (Or so I believe).

Mine haven't gone in yet so I hope not.

As the weather is still relatively mild I`d say you are ok until the end of the month.

Miine are not going in for another week.... too busy at the moment.

I'm pretty sure they will be ok (if I can stop the foxes digging them up or partying on top of them!!]

Don't rush winter onions Livvy.

If they put on too much growth now - they're prime for bolting come spring.
