Hi Matt, I suspect you just need to give them a few nice gentle organic
foliar feeds. Weak mixes work best. Little and often of a seaweed based
fertiliser with a little fish emulsion mixed in always works wonders for me.
Mind you , its hard to imagine the problems you guys have whilst living here
in chile heaven. (50 miles north of Perth Western Australia). Its Autumn
here raining, and 75-85 degrees.
