I take on my new allotment as from today. It's being rotorvated this
morning, and I hope to start planting out over the week-end.
However, it's late in the season, and am I too late to plant onion sets?

Come to Cornwall. There's 4 sites not allocated at the moment.

I'd go with the "give it a go and see". And you can pick them up a lot
cheaper than earlier in the season now!

In the whole of the county? :-)

There's a possible chance of some that are fairly close to me, but it's
a new field and only temporary for a couple of years, no water either
from what I can make out, so not that tempted. Every time I've been it's
been locked up with nobody working.

Well if you don't plant 'em you certainly won't get any onions!

Well, I suppose he could keep them till September and put them in for
overwintering. Apparently they are less susceptible to white rot if you do
that, but it didn't help mine much last year.
