I just got some good Miracle Grow. It's called All Purpose Nursery Select. It's 20-20-20 so you can use it pretty much any time of the year. Just make sure you don't go nuts with synthetics though. It messes up your soil's biology.

if your soil has been tested and you have a good test, a little foliar of fish/seaweed that is about all you need. if you do go with miracle grow, do it about 1/2 strength more often
