    With lower temperatures and shrinking availability of daylight isn't the time to fertilise.

    Some dahlias in some of the areas of the UK don't get get going until Sept.

    That's true, @Fire, but in those areas they only flower for about 2 months, at most.

    I agree it's too late for feeding.
    Based in Sussex, I garden to encourage as many birds to my garden as possible.

    I agree about perennials, but for annuals, what to lose? It's a toss up between the compost bin and having a go. The night temps are around 12C, roses are in bud and blooming all over the neighbourhood.
