Yes - a light raking around the plant and water it in.But next time when preparing the soil add a bit a week or so before you plant. When preparing my soil I now put the following on. Some compost/mulch, lime, trace elements, some extra phosphate, some Epsom salts and some worm tea. Then when plants are well established I put some watered down fertiliser (N P K) if I think it needs it.
Check to see if you have bees working in your area/garden otherwise you might have to hand pollinate in the mornings when the female flowers come out. they are only open for a 1/2 day.
