Experimenting with some patio veg this year, and planted the
containers up yesterday. Obviously water's going to be vital, but as
they're in containers I'll need to feed regularly too.

I've planted:
Trough 1 - chile and pepper

wow must be a huge trough.Unless you mean chillis and not the country of
Chile ;0)

Trough 2 - aubergine and mohican aubergine
Trough 3 - courgettes
Pot 1 - Cape gooseberry
Pot 2 - Tomato

I've got Tomorite and Phostrogen in my shed but wandered what to feed
what and when. Naturally the tomato plant will get Tomorite - but
would that be ok for everything, or should I use phostrogen for the
others. Also when should I start feeding them?

First time ever growing veg so this should be interesting!


Have you got a copy of 'the vegetable expert' by Dr Hessayon? If not, I
think you should get it. It is a brilliant book and will give you all the
info you need and more. There are several on ebay at the moment for 99p.

note that none of them are mine. I never sell my gardening books, I pass
them on to my son.
