You mean, there are virtually no green leaves left? That doesn't sound

too happy. Have you any flowers or tomatoes?


Well, I have just been out with my camera and they have plenty of flowers.
I have been indoors all week and couldn't see them properly. Not all bad
leaves either

When I can get out I shall post a picture.

If you have virtually no leaves left, then I wouldn't feed them.



Try taking out a walnut sized piece of compost and squeezing it. How much
water comes out? If you can get a drip or two when squeezing hard, then
that's OK. If it's like squeezing out a wet sponge, then I would say that
that is too wet, especially if it's been that way for a couple of days,
and I would try to et the compost to dry out a bit.
Bring the basket inside, or put something over it to keep the rain off
for a few days.


All advice and information stored.
Many, many thanks)


The last few days haven't been friendly for pot plants - it's been nice
not having to water them, but you can have too much of a good thing!


Indeed So, shall I continue to feed? I have put them back out in the
rain. What say you?)
