    Gromore is fine and you can apply it sparingly now. I would also add some potash on its own.

    If you can find Vitax Q4 somewhere its a great general fert for most plants. BTW,anything planted next to a wall tends to lose nutrients quickly due to drainage issues.

    Make sure there's no grass or other plants near the base too.
