Depending upon what you did when you planted out you may only need to further feed the Tomatoes & Cucumber.

before planting out and whilst preparing the ground i dug in a large amount of home made compost but nothing more then that

Then perhaps the following would be best;

toms, = Tom feed (once a week)
beans = pellets (once per season)
peas,= nothing
pots, = nothing
strawbs, =Tom feed (after flowering)
carrots, = pellets (once per season)
onions = Tom feed** Possibly twice;  once when the start swelling, then again about four weeks later

**( I am not sure if your pellets contain any nitrogen and onions don't want any nitrogen from the time they begin swelling)

brilliant thank you very much all noted i assume peppers and chillis, pumpkin and courgette and cues all need feeding too sorry to be a pain working my way round the garden

Perhaps I might be better directing you to the alphabetical index on my website then you can treat the plants you grow accordingly;

Morrisons supermarket are currently doing a great deal on pelleted chicken poo! quite a large tub for just over £3. The versatile chicken worth as much alive as it is dead :)
