' Hi common ques-.


tm asked at tbe nurs- ery is “Why isn’t


I theplantiplantedtwoyears ago flowering?”... and the solu­ tion to this problem is to be feedingyour plants correctly. When plants are grown in

pots at nurseries and garden centres you have to remem­ ber that compost in the pots contains all the nutrients that those plants could re­ quire for the next i2months, the right amount of nitrogen to make sure the leaves are a rich green, the right amount of potassium to ensure good root development and then most importantly a good bal­ ance of potash which encour- ages flowers.. Then when you plant out


any new plants in the garden they are bound to succeed for the short term as they are living off their, reserves. If
