I've looked on Google but can't find an answer to my question.

I have two new jasmine plants, one planted in the ground, and one in a
container. Both planted out about 6 weeks ago. They are both growing well
but I cannot see the start of any flower buds. On Google I see different
flowering times. Some sites say flowers from June and some say July.

What should I feed them? I have been using miracle gro (but not as often as
I should of). Would they like a tomato feed instead?

Jasmines flower best on the ends of shoots coming from older wood, feeding
them lots will not make them flower more, but as a general rule, tom
fertilizer is better for flower than the others.
Jasmines flower best in good light so avoid too much shade especially from
overhanging trees, and a hot place such as near a wall can help, other than
that leave them alone!

thanks Charlie, one is planted to next to a fence, alongside a cherry tree
(or something similar). it gets the sun for at least 3/4s of the day and
the shade from the tree is, I would say, minimum. I hope that is the case
anyway.

The other is in a pot and is I think in the shade more than it is in the
sun. I will move this out a bit and see what happens.

apologies I know this is a late reply to old post. The jasmine is now
flowering, I didn't realise the buds would be so small. I am going away
tomorrow on holiday so should see lots of lovely flowers when I get home.
