Hotzcatz - good point about leaching. The soil where I live is incredibly 'thin'. I'm sure that all of the rain here takes a lot out of the soil in no time. I fertilize with MiracleGrow about every 10 days using about 1/2 strength. Seems to work pretty well and I've never seen a plant burnt.
I do find it amazing a few days of sunshine, after a week of heavy rain, many of my ornaments and fruits show heat stress. Guess when you have your root system so close to the surface it does not take a lot to become dehydrated.
