Hi there.

I'm hoping the collective knowledge of the forum members can help me solve a problem I am having with my courgettes. I planted 3 courgettes about 2 months ago. One of them is producing nice courgettes, looks healthy and is a nice darn green in colour with large broad leaves. The other two are not going so well. One of them has turned yellow and appears to be stunted in its growth. It has produced 2 small courgettes, and has now stopped. The other courgette had the same problem, but far worse, so I decided to pull it out. The soil is good, and every thing else in the garden appears to be doing well.

Does anyone know what this problem may be, and how I can remedy/avoid it?

Sounds like mosaic virus to me. Not sure if there is a treatment it comes in on infected aphids etc.

infected aphids etc.

I can't help giggling at that.

Otherwise, agree, very strong candidate for cucumber mosaic virus, I'd lose it quick. And wash all well, before touching anything in the related plant groups.
