        Watering them everyday apart from when it rains and feeding them with miracle grow, you know the one that you attach to the hosepipe and put the blue powder in.

        :thumbsup::spinning:

        even when it rains , check the compost not dry , the foliage can act like a umbrella/thatch and make it all run off and not into the basket.
        I use a tomato food as it got more of a kick to it but thats me, miracle grow should be fine ....

        and there was you thinking you could relax when it rains :rolleyespink:;)

          Haha I know. I'll have to bare that in mind then about the rain not getting to the soil.
