Default Diseased courgette plants

Some disease is attacking my courgette plants.
Rhiannon


It may be some form of mosaic virus? Try Googling for a few pictures. I've
had courgette plants go like that in the past, however production came to a
stand-still. The plants still 'survived' but didn't produce any new
courgettes and the existing ones didn't get any bigger. I pulled mine up and
put them in the refuse - not onto the compost heap where the disease could
be passed on. Despite this the following years plants in a different
location had exactly the same problem whilst they were still young and also
had to be discarded before a single courgette had formed, so the disease
hung around somehow, somewhere.
