My partner and I have got a small interest in gardening- mainly on growing our own and we'd like some help from knowledgeable gardeners.
We've grown everything from seed and now have seedling plants.

We currently have:
Anya Potatoes in pots
Carrots/Brussels Sprouts/Broccoli and Cauliflower in one tray (dying).
Corn in a pot
Peas in a pot (might die soon)
Raspberry bush (doing very well)

In the ground we have:
Strawberries (2 years old, doing well)
Runner Beans (were doing well in pots, now dying )

We have a raised bed in which we plan to plant them all in eventually. I have a plan as to what is going where based on plant preferences.

So my question is I fed them all an all purpose plant food today- is this the best food for them and is there anything else I should do?
I have some packets of 'Revive' for those which are dying yet I thought the all purpose food might be better.
I'm looking to buy some more plant food and I'd like to know what brand or type to get which might be suitable for most/all or will I need to base it off plant requirements?

Thank you!

Dont make it too complicated, gardening should be a joy not a worry

take in easy steps until your skill increases

all purpose will do for now, it shouldnt harm em

I feed veg with a load of fruit food that I have spare and they do ok

plants want to grow

Quite frankly, get them out of the pots & into the ground

No idea where you live, but runners were having a bit of a hard time due to the temperature, now summer is here they should pick up

A pick me up could be seaweed based foliar feed feritilser, but really, get planted out

anything that's going to produce flowers/fruit incl tomatoes, needs a feed with a high potash content. You'll get this in any rose or tomato food - you don't have to spend a fortune on them any brand will do. Have a look in Wilkinsons.

They will need a lot of water and regularly - don't wait until they dry out becasue this could cause the tomatoes to split their skins and the beans won't grow. Once your peas and bean plants are growing well, check the stems every few days for black or green fly which can damage the plants. I just squish them with my thumba and fingers but you can get chemical insecticide (Wilko's again).

Hope you enjoy your crop !

Don't feed tomatoes until the fruit has set - overfeeding is often a beginner's tendency

Get your plants in the trays out of the trays and into much larger pots (or the veg patch) and in the extreme heat of the day put them in shade. The heat will kill young seedlings and keep them well watered. Don't put very small seedlings into a half empty veg patch if you have slugs/snails they'll be gone by morning
