    Autumn or spring planting onion sets

    Hi

    I bought some onion sets cheaply in the sale (10p) about two months ago. They don't say when to plant or harvest - will they be suitable for autumn planting? They haven't sprouted at all.

    Thank you in advance for any advice, which is greatly appreciated! 

    Hello Melissa and welcome to the Grapvine.
    Does it say what variety they are?
    They'll be old stock from last season. Are they still firm?

      I've got some sturon sets from a similar sale. They can withstand cold so if not a pig of a winter should be OK. I intend planting them this week.

      If they don't grow I've only lost pennies!
      The proof of the growing is in the eating.
      Leave Rotten Fruit.
      Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Potasium - potash.
      Autant de têtes, autant d'avis!!!!!
      Il n'est si méchant pot qui ne trouve son couvercle.

        Thank you so much for replying and for the welcome!

        I have Stuttgarter and Centurion - they seem firm still so fingers crossed!

        Thank you again for the advice, hope yours turn out well! ☺

          I bought some cheapo onion sets and couple of months ago and planted them straight away. They're all growing but may not come to much over winter. As has been said - its only pennies
          Stuttgarter and Centurion are intended for Spring planting.
