That's interesting Tony as I've just been looking up mag. deficiency in toms because I always have yellowing leaves and this year I have just applied Epsom Salts (a friend brought me some over last year) so I've just been learning about the too much potash/not enough magnesium thing. But then I have calcium deficiency in my toms in pots too (blossom end rot) apparently :lol: blimey one needs to be a bloomin' scientist to do this gardening lark!

I haven't done a 2nd fertilising of my fruits which is always with wood ash because no rain = waste of time :lol: but normally I wait until there is proper rain forecast then run around the orchard spreading it around. I'm sure I'm just fertilising the grass but hey ho.

I'm not sure if it is worth fertilising summer rasps a 2nd time when they are already fruiting but I think I should do the autumn ones as I've finally got the seep hose up and running around the rasps so they'll get it watered in. Must do the roses too although a lot of them are so dry they barely flowered a first time let alone any repeat growth/flowering. :(
