They don't really need feeding til the onions are bulbing up and the beans are showing signs of emerging beans.   Beans are heavy feeders and would benefit from some muck round their feet. I like natural food like comfrey tea or seaweed liquid but you can use stuff from Wilko etc like Phostregen or Miracle Gro
