Here in Delaware, weather is just turning cold. Taking down fencing on the old garden, bed by bed. Tomatoes are done. String beans are down to to 1 or 2 a day. Lots of bell peppers this year. Amazed at the row of asparagus!

The new garden is a mess, except for the wife’s herbs. Learned a lot, though. There are more deer around our subdivision than I thought. And they love eggplants. Know what cabbage worms are; saw them eating my broccoli plants. I can’t grow squash for love nor money. Lots of work to do before winter and again before spring planting.

Question: I’ve got some bags of fertilizer with same ratios (6-6-6, 10-10-10, 4-4-4). Okay to mix?

I would say OK to mix those bags, you’ll have a nice blend out of it.

Yup , all are well balanced fretilizers, ideal for garden plantings.
You may have to use less on the garden since its' combined nutrients will be N20-P20-K20, so use less in quantity, or use only half as much as you usually would.
Fine for the garden , but even cut back in quantity; I don't suggest using it around fruit or nut trees since it would encourage excessive foliage and weak limb growth.

I will defer to TIK-I can’t think of any reason why not.
