When is it safe to start planting onion sets,they are starting to sprout
in
the bag and going soft?
From spring onwards,it says on the bag but is it too early?

No, get 'em in. AFAIK you can put them in just after Xmas! Mine are in....

I ordered some red baron onion sets from organiccatalogue.com which
say they are not expected until 11 April. These are heat treated but
even so is that going to be too late to plant?
