'Andy',

Why not use them as 'Green Onions' as described in this site
http://www.dutchvalleygrowers.com/onionsets.htm
otherwise you will lose them.

This may be a very naive question to anyone with the remotest
knowledge of
onions but is it possible to keep onion sets over until a second year
before
planting them. I have been given a bag of sets and I imagine it's
really too
late to plant them out this year. Can anyone help? Thanks in
anticipation.
