I often do a foliar feed with dilute Alaska fish fertilizer sometime in early April, just to give them a boost, and sometimes give them a second dose later in April as well. You don't want to do this too early, when the new growth might get hit by a freeze, nor do you want to continue foliar feeding too late. After the plants start forming a bulb, they will be putting energy into that rather than more leaf growth. If your soil is healthy, fertile soil, the foliar feed is not really necessary.
