    Winter onions and garlic

    Hi,

    This is going to sound, well it is a bit of a silly question really, but i'm still a newbie to this so bear with me!

    In Nov/Dec i bought some Japanese Onions and some Garlic that was meant for planting from Nov-Jan. I had a lot on and forgot all about them to be honest until i came across them the other day!

    Is it worth me planning them now or should i buy different varieties that can be planted now?

    Bit late for your onions but if you get your garlic in now they should be ok - maybe a bit smaller than if you had got them in earlier. Now is the time to sow onion sets, just not your overwintering Japanese variety.

      I've sown garlic at this time of year in the past and it's been very small and pathetic, rather a pain to peel but still tasty.

      Some of us live in the past, always talking about back then. Some of us live in the future, always planning what we are going to do. And, then there are those, who neither look behind or ahead, but just enjoy the moment of right now.

      Which one are you and is it how you want to be?

        As long as the onion sets are not going soft and mushy they will still grow, but maybe not as big.

            you can alway plant the onions closer together and use them as spring onions
