Feeding depends on the state of the soil to a great extent. Where i have sandy soil, the nutrients get washed out and it need fresh feed each year. Clay patches get a lot of compost to lighten it and I only add the feed when I plant perennials, then I leave it to get on with it.

Oh right, thanks for that news Dove. I'll get the hang of this gardening lark even if it kills me
I have to agree with Mike to a certain extent.
I do feed the garden myself with liquid fertilizers, but not religiously.
Plants are made of tough stuff and will grow and try and produce flowers without much help.
I find being too kind with a plant tends to make it worse, from experience the ones I leave alone tend to fair better.
