Atlas Carrots - 10cm

I would say yes, plant them now, outside, you are in a gentle part of the country. Onions will over winter and carrots and caulis should survive. pbf.

You have nothing to lose so go for it! I can't imagine them growing indoors over winter with low light levels but you stand a chance outside.

Have they been raised indoors, if so harden them off before planting the onions and cauliflower out. The onions are a bit advanced (and possibly a bit tender) and may get knocked back by hard frost. Carrots plant under cover.
