Back to onions, are there any varieties I can start as seeds now or is it a bit late?  My sets were successful last year but I'd rather try from seeds if this is possible?

You can sow onions now either in modules or direct into the ground.

The later you sow them the smaller they will be until you just have pickling size.

Once you get into April my opinion is that you would be better growing from sets.
