• Firstly if you are trying to encourage flowering, I think nitrogen is actively unhelpful - it will encourage foliage growth instead. You want potassium.

    But yeah overfeeding definitely kills lots of things quickly. I have done that myself in the past using granular chemical feeds and now only do organic. Chuck some compost and or comfrey pellets around the trachleospermum, hold off on the chemicals, and see what happens?

  • I got it because of the potassium (and it was recommended somewhere) - it's got double the quantity of potassium to nitrogen, would that not even it out?

    The Star Jasmin is growing away like it's never done before.

    Such a frustrating bind to be in. I guess I'll just hold off on more fertiliser for the smaller one at the back to see if the Daphne recovers.

    Chives are flowing. I always bore everyone with this, but I think chives are such a fucking brilliant thing to plant. Grow almost anywhere without care and give you early green, food and nice flowers.

  • Chives look great! I have a packet of chive seed somewhere I need to find.

    How old is your star jasmine? I have two that I planted in winter, obviously they haven't done much yet. But I think I read (maybe on here) that they often take a long time to establish?
