Courgette Leaves Problem....
« on: May 21, 2014, 12:49 »
Hi Guys,

My courgette and squash plants have been in the ground for over a week, and the outer leaves are yellow (like my celery).

The newer ones from the crown, appear to be a greener colour, but it is an alarming colour.

Do it need a nitrogen feed?

There was BF&B in the potting mix, and they were in 6 inch pots before transplanting.
When weeding, the best way to know if its a weed and not a valuable plant is to pull it.

If it comes out easy, it was a valuable plant !

They usually sulk for some time, Wizzyfax! Ours moaned like hell for a couple or three weeks last year, then suddenly - WHOOSH, they all took off together!

I'm expecting the ones I planted out this morning to do the same, they have some light green leaves, and it's only seed leaves which go yellowish, and they don't really count if you have more secondary leaves in place.

I'd think you're doing fine!

Did you harden them off before planting them out?
I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days all attack me at once...
