My wife and I just moved in to a condo in Northern CA. When we moved in we had an idea to plant a vegetable garden in what was a dead space on the back patio. I have built it and planted all the vegetables but am now looking to fertilize as the veggies seem to have suffered from some transplant shock. I know very little about gardening but wanted to do a complete organic garden as it wasnt that much more expensive. I purchased Dr. Earth fertilizer in the dry form and now have no idea what to do. Would I be better suited purchasing the liquid form at this point? Should I fertilize every 2 weeks? I am really just looking for any advice on how to make sure this thing produces a lot of veggies to eat. Thank you in advance for the advice.

What veggies are we talking about Sam? All I see is 3 pots of flowers?

Different vegetables have different fertilizing needs.

Are your vegetable plants in containers or in the ground? If containers, how big and filled with what potting mix? All that makes a big difference how one fertilizes, how often and with what. Especially if you only want to use organics as that can be more difficult in containers since there is no active soil micro-herd to help them work..
