Giving my pots a bit of a boost after the winter

Regular watering and feeding through the summer. Dead looking bits of fuschia should be cut off.
Take off the first 10cm of compost and replace it. Use granular feeds, Gromore or equivalent.
Good luck

I haven’t seen a slug for years. I spray with nematodes every March.
I don’t like the thought of what I’m doing ( killing the baby slugs) 😥 but I like even less what they can do to my beautiful plants.

Get a hedgehog!!

We use liquid seaweed as a feed.

Agree with suggestions of cutting off dead looking twigs of fuchsia.
If you can get chicken manure pellets, they make a good slow release fertiliser when mixed with compost - not too much, just a couple of scoops.
Coffee grounds are OK but don't provide much nutrition for plants. I wouldn't use too often. I think banana skins might take a while to break down if just added to soil in pot- better to compost, but it sounds like you don't make compost.
Good luck and don't hesitate to ask for advice here- plenty of keen gardeners on Gransnet!

Fuchsias should really be chopped right back in late winter, eg about March. However, I don't often get around to doing it , particularly if the weather is bad, so they just get a trim about now.

Yes, we have chicken manure pellets somewhere too, must find them.

Oh Duh!! 😁

I've tidied up the plants in boxes, should have chopped the pelargoniums back but they are starting to flower now. Given them a top dressing of compost and watered them with liquid seaweed!!

Left the snails for the hedgehog, who had left me some nice poo on the path as a thank you.

Well there you are Allira no good deed goes unpunished 🤭
