Lack of flowers

I have used Miracle Gro fertiliser for many years which has regularly resulted in a lovely display of flowers in the garden.

However, this year there appears to be a significant lack of flowers (Ihave grown similar plants to previous years); is this just due to the poor weather and what can be done to improve the situation.?

Would an additional high potash feed perk up the flower production?

Comments/suggestions please

    Most of our flowers haven't been too bad so far but the sweet peas have been useless. I picked 3 very small bunches and the plants are now dying. We usually have a good crop.

    I'm afraid I haven't got any suggestions about what to put down.

    lack of flowers is most probably down to the bad weather this year... most of the annuals doing really bad this year, perennials are okay
    so just wait for more sun and they will flower....
