>>1391553Yeah the first frost seems to be quite some time away here, hopefully they can still store some extra energy in the upcoming mild ~2 weeks.
I've been doing winter set onions in a similar way the last 3 years, always worked so far (placing them in late Sep/early Oct, then they sprout, grow slowly over winter, then faster come March/April, finally ready to pick by around June). Now I understand garlic is a bit slower, so the cloves I set should become "solo" bulbs by next autumn if everything goes well
