    I would think they were supposed to be autumn planted japanese onion sets but you could either plant them now in a cold greenhouse or wait til the spring and give them a try outdoors
    They may be a failure either way though so make sure you get some spring planting sets and plant those as a backup......in spring!

      I'd get a seed tray, and sow them as spaced out as you can in that. Then put them out in the spring. At least then you might get a few bulbing up.

        Very good advice above, Ian, I think you have to chance your luck! It would help somewhat if you knew WHEN these sets were originally purchased, Spring or Autumn 2009? And from where? (e.g. mail order, seed company, garden centre, Wilkos etc). And are they white, yellow or red? bb.
