Hi all,
We're having a go at growing some things again this year. A couple of quick questions:
Dwarf french beans in pots
A couple of years ago we grew some which worked really well, plenty of tasty beans! They stopped producing beans after a while, which is to be expected no doubt but I was wondering whether they'd actually stopped due to over feeding with the wrong stuff. I didn't get round to removing them from the pots and after a month or so of neglet they started producing again (although this second crop was much smaller and not as tasty as the first).
So, what should I feed them with? At the moment the seedlings have been transplanted into a standard veg growbag compost. I'd anticipate leaving them until they start fruiting but then would like to make sure they're getting all the nutrients they need to have as long a growing season as possible
Peppers in pots
Having less time than in the past, we cheated and bought a pepper plant with fruit on it already. This has been transplanted into fresh compost. I assume feeding with tomato food is OK, but should I commence feeding now, as the plant is already fruiting?
Thanks in advance
Chris
