my courgettes are growing but the leaves have gone a bit yellow. any body know what to do or whats causing this

[Yorkie]

Where are they at the moment?

Soil or compost?

Indoors or outdoors?

How long have they been growing?

[chris]

sowed them in march and are in big pots and just put them outside yesterday

Yellow leaves can be a watering problem, nutrients, or cold.

Unlikely to be nutrient if you've only recently potted them on.  Unlikely to be cold if you've only just put them out.  Have you been overwatering?

If watering is fine, you might try a general purpose fertiliser, either seaweed extract or similar.
