Bought some onion set today.
Stuttgarter and some red onion.
Should I plant them now or wait until
the frosts have finished ??

Is there nothing on the packet?
You are traditionally supposed to store onion sets in the light, on a
tray in a frost free place.

The sets are in a net with a label stating What they are
and weight etc.
No planting or storing instructions.
