Onions and garlic

I have a few autumn planting shallots, onions and garlic sets that I did not get round to planting. Will they grow just as well if I plant them as Spring sets? Does anyone know if they are different varieties? Any help would be appreciated. Richard by rmenmuir@btinternet.

spring onions

Why do my spring onions take forever to grow? I am still waiting for those planted as seeds last year to get to a size big enough to eat- the seed packet said they'd only take 6 weeks- not more than 12 months! I have tried them in pots by MaggieL
