Is it ok to feed normal flowers with tomato liquid feed?

The npk is 2 1 4
When weeding, the best way to know if its a weed and not a valuable plant is to pull it.

If it comes out easy, it was a valuable plant !

I will use tomato feed on my toms, chillies, peppers, cucumber & courgettes ...
I sprinkle growmore on the beds before planting out (in the ever lasting winter I gave the beds a handful or two of chicken manure and before the second bout of snow some of the beds some lime).

So my question ... what should I and should I feed the other fruit & veg, brassica, potatoes, carrots, onions, beets, lettuce, raspberries, blackberries & strawberries?
2 Books and No idea!!!  Learning as I go!

My rule of thumb

The N is for nitrogen which gives masses of lovely green leaves. Great for grass, and why lawn fertilizer is 24:1;1.

The P is for phosphorus which is good for roots. I add bonemeal when I am planting new trees or fruit bushes. 

The K is potassium is for fruit and flowers. Which is what I want.

I would use a 2:1:4 fertilizer on everything.   Doesn't seem to be working on my thinning hair though.  :)
Sometimes my plants grow despite, not because of, what I do to them.

A good splash of comfrey tea will make anything grow.  ;)

Yeah, I've heard that it has many benefits. I should get myself a patch.
