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.

'Andy',

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

Plant them. You might come up with something. I left mine in the ground
over last winter, and we are eating them now.
