Dennis replies:  
I don't think fertilizer now would be advisable.  You have new soil and 
manure to get them off to a good start.  If anything, add a handfull of 
alfalfa pellets to eash clump, or till some up before planting.  Hope 
that helps.  
Glad you didn't have any damage from Bertha.  We could have used some of 
the rain.
