Arnold, I would recommend an organic fertiliser, like blood fish and bone meal, or dried cow manure. To protect the tops of my plants in the garden I place branches of the Christmas tree over them just to break the cold winds.

I suspect that the are heavy feeders and I may have been delinquent in providing regular fertilizer for them. Any suggestions for type of feeding.
