Planting My Japanese Onion Sets

Today I am planning to plant my Japanese Onion Sets. It is November the 15th and I am a little later planting them as I would of hoped. I wanted to plant them in the middle to the end of September to give them a few months to make a little headway with growth so that they have a stronger start in the spring to give better bulbs/onions next June. So I am going to make an early start on the allotment and get some put in with some garlic. If they do well then great I will know next year not to panic so much as I did manage to get a good crop from a late sowing but the only thing is that my plans again have been scuppered by the weather and personal problems. The weather outside is wet and suprisingly mild for the time of year. They have forcast tempritures of 14 Degress Celciuse in the middle of November that is quite good. Hope fully we will have a week or two more of this fine warmish weather for the time of year and get my onions started off quickly.
