Yellowing courgettes?
Hi all
Allotmenteering is going better than anticipated! Have been quite successful with courgettes but just lately they have started to turn yellow. They are nice and firm, not soft or gooey, and taste fine but I wonder what is causing it. The leaves are a bit mildewy and some have also gone yellow. What am I doing wrong?! Any advice...... Cheers |

I grow Gold Rush, a yellow cougette which I find is more productive than the green ones. Pam in Bristol |

Could they conceivably be one of the yellow varieties? The leaves are a bit mildewy Tends to happen if there isn't quite enough water. Doesn't matter if it's not severe. and some have also gone yellow. If it's just the bottom leaves, then it's natural dying off. The leaves don't last forever. If it's all of them, and you aren't feeding the plant, try feeding it. What is best to feed them? I have been using tomato food on mine. Tomato food is fine, as for roses. But actually, any old balanced fertiliser will do, especially in the open ground. Thought I do wonder if it's getting a bit late in the year to bother. -- Mike. |
