"How often are you using the fish emulsion on your plants?"

Instructions on the bottle say every 3 weeks if that
is your primary nutrition source for the plants.

"Do you put it on all of them? How about flowers?"

Usually only at transplant time, along with some
foliar-feeding strength high-phosphorus blossom
booster (to stimulate rooting in the transplants).
I prefer to amend the soil in fall and spring so that
it has enough nutrition to last all summer. The
initial shot of fish+ is simply to get them going
(the roots are all in nutrient-poor seed starting
mix when they go into the ground).

Knowledgeable growers say that they should get a
fertilizer boost when fruit set begins, but how much
benefit you get from that probably depends on how
rich one's soil is to begin with.
