I planted my winter Aquadulce Beans on the first of October this year in a raised bed under cover they are up about 3 inches and i was wondering if it would be ok to feed them some liquid tomato feed or leave it till next year before feeding them say about the end of January.

Leave then until next year now. They are better small, as they'll be more hardy over winter.
Tomato feed is fed when they start to fruit/flower, not before!Last edited by chris; 14-11-2012, 04:55 AM. -
If the bed has been well prepared as Chris says you shoudn't need to feed them until they start to fruit.
If you are unsure I would leave it till next spring when the weather turns and them give them a dose of Miracle Grow or other high nitrogen fertiliser. This will help with green growth.

You don't want to feed anything going into winter: they'll put on too much soft topgrowth which will only succumb to the elementsOriginally posted by David1949 View PostAll gardeners know better than other gardeners." -- Chinese Proverb.Comment
