No Diane,fertilisation is between plants by pollenation during flowering before the seed sets.

Redwing,give all your plants a good feed of seasol,sounds like they need a good feed to seed. Craig

Just from observing my own and mothers plants, how well they seed seems to be related to how much water they get. And it has been pretty dry out west.

That's very true FB,one early feed initially and don't miss a daily watering in a pot they dry out very quickly and they like full sun for best results. Craig
