thanks man,i've never grown outdoors so don't know what to expect,there's only 1 shared pot but it's a massive pot,has about 400 litres of soil in it(and it's still not full),that's the pot with 2 weed plants and it also has pumpkins and a sunflower for cover(my garden backs onto a school),thought i might have had a problem with all those heavy feeding fast growing plants in with my weeds but it seems not,pumpkins have shallow spreading roots which make over watering or over fertilizing almost impossible
so it's not flowering i'm seeing then but pre flowers?
