Help - Yellow leaves
« on: June 28, 2011, 10:24 »
Yesterday I noticed that a lot of my previously lovely leaves had yellow patches on them.  I try and water under the leaves but could this be scorch marks after the sun? or something more serious ??? ? I've removed the worst affected leaves just in case.  Seems to have affected the cucumbers, broccoli, kale and courgettes most. Fingers crossed puics attached!

I wouldn't worry about the broccoli and kale, that does look like scorch marks.

The cucumber and courgette however could need feeding.

Broccoli and kale possible sunscorch but check underneath for small caterpillars.  Courgette needs a feed, possible magnesium deficiency.  Cucumber looks a little like anthracnose, but hopefull only needs a feed.
Cheese makes everything better.

Thanks for the info. Will have a good look for caterpillars this evening and give the courgettes and cucumbers a good feed - any particular feeds recommended?

What's anthracnose and can I do anything about it? 

So many questions - you can tell it's all new to me!!  But have flowers and baby veg/fruit on all plants so don't want all the work so far to go to waste.  Trying to be as organic as possible...
