I have, well, had, some Schultz “Bloom Food” that is 12-24-12. Mice ate most of it.

(I got mine on clearance at, IIRC, Wal Mart, or possibly Menards.)
Outside of the mice, this seems to work best, as expected, well in advance, and doesn’t promote “quick” blooms. For quick blooms I use the 10-52-10 stuff, or for, for example, Opo, which seems to be hard to coax into FEMALE blooms, I use straight “Super Phosphate” once the plant is over 10 ft. long, and maybe some ground up egg shells when planting, more a month later, and a bit more approx. when I apply the Super Phosphate.
Whatever works! That’s the fun of gardening - learning what works for you with what you like to grow. :)
Rain this morning, so that puts the kibosh on mowing for today, (Dry and HOT - 93 - tomorrow...Ugh!) but I have weeds to pull, a flower planter to re-plant, some fertilizing to do and spent lettuces to pull and give to the chickens; in this heat they’re bolting - it’s revolting! LOL!
Everything else is pretty happy. :)
