Default onions and garlic

can you help increase my yields of onions and garlic.
I wish to grow garlic and Japanese onions over winter this year and am not
sure the best time to plant out. I live in south Devon uk TIA Jan.

We found the over wintering onions a waste of time, only a couple of weeks
earlier than spring planted and we used to lose a lot over winter. Garlic
can be planted in late September or October so it gets up and growing before
the very cold weather, it will then continue to grow in any warm spell
during the winter, toughest plant there is.
