I got some Sturon onion sets in the spring, but won't be able to use them until next year? They cost next to nothing, but will they keep or should I ditch and buy new again next year?

Have they not started growing in the packet, they usually do when I've bought them -
They are just laid out loose in an old sieve in the greenhouse.Comment

ArE they firm or soft? Shrivelled or plump?Comment

If they are soft/papery---bin em.
If they are hard plant them somewhere sheltered but sunny? and use them as spring onions.
If you intend to plant them as proper onions---they will bolt early next year--guaranteedFeed the soil, not the plants.

They have been disposed of, will buy some more next year.Comment

They don't usually keep, freefolk. When I buy the ones they're selling off cheap at the end of season, I plant them straightaway and use them as "spring" onions or pickling.Comment
