Something's fishy

Early spring
I have been slaphappy with the fish / guano fertilizer (which smells like rotting fish and excrement)  using more than the 1/2 oz per gal. every 14 day application recommendation on the bottle. It's  9-6-2 and an organic liquid feed so it hasn't burned anything yet-- still don't want to injure roots or cause irregular growth which overfeeding will do.

Having said that, the food, spring sun and regular watering are making everybody happy as there are blooms all around; 4 colors of bougainvillea are flowering, yellow, coral, magenta and purple; as is jasmine, gardenia, bower, begonia (still), the plumeria, though not blooming after it's severe prune isn't blooming, is starting to green out in an increasingly robust manner.
