How often should you fertilize a garden?

How often should you fertilize a garden? I only have an 11' by 5' garden.
And I only need to fertilize about a 3rd of it because the rest is just green beans.

Hi
I have about the same size garden at 10 by 8 feet. I just use the Miracle Grow (sorry about the spelling). So I fertilize weekly...I know it is too often...but I get great tomatoes.
Actually, all I grow is tomatoes and lemon cucumbers...and I am able to provide them to all my neighbors.

Enjoy the garden, I sure do,

Brimstone Moth, Opisthograptis luteolata. A moth I associate more with summer, but I still see the odd one in early autumn.

Not a bad session for the time of year, but I cut it short because the rain came down. There was one new species for the garden, an Engrailed - a common moth but for whatever reason it hasn't turned up here before.
