I have a nice row of summer squash this year. However right in the
middle I have two plants that has very green leaves. But the veins of
the leaves are bright yellow. Any ideas?

No. Where did you get your seeds? I planted seeds from a cantaloupe we
bought. Out off 50 plants, 4 turned out to be honeydews.

If you bought the seeds, they might not have been pure. It will be
interesting.

One possibility is cucumber mosaic virus, If you planted yellow squash either
straight neck or crookneck and the fruits are mottled green you will know for
sure, It is spread by the cucumber beetle, but I know of no cure once
established.

I've had a couple of responses so far but neither seem to be the answer.
I've taken a couple of digital pictures that I could send if someone
thinks they might be able to identify the problem. Just let me know.
Thanks

Some squash varieties have a tendency to throw a few plants with leaves
that were streaked or mottled yellow (the golden acorns I used to grow were
especially prone to this).

Otherwise, the pattern you describe doesn't seem to fit any of the 'nutrient
deficiency' keys I've taken a (quick) look at.

The best answer since it does not appear to be a disease or nutrient
problem is wait and see what you get.

There are 10 types of people in the world. Those who understand binary and those who do not.

I have taken some digital pictures to my county ag agent and I'm waiting
for his response. Hopefully it's nothing that can't be fixed. But even
so, I will find out how to prevent it next year.
