Garlic and Japanese onions here I come!

[prakash_mib]

This year I ordered winter onions and garlic from dobies and they are gonna be delivered in october (that will be in last week of october if we know dobies).
can they go as late as that?

[sunshineband]

Yes, as long as the gound isn't frozen by then
