What's wrong with my courgette seedlings?

Tolland I am no expert but I would think that your plants are a bit crowded in that pot - that may not be helping.

Just wanted to say, you want them one by one to a pot of that size or so, but don't worry, horrid it might look, it's just as Munty says, you can see - probably much better than us - the yellow/ brown line on the edges,which got burnt, so then as the leaf grows you get this harmonica effect, no reason to remove them.

Hi,

I those courgettes into separate pots and the have been going well, have lots of flowers and new leaves.

The problem now is that some of the leaves have started to develop white spots, which gradually get worse until the leaf dies.

Here is an example photo of one;

any ideas what that might be?

Are these the older, bottom leaves? Can be water splash to start with but that's where fungi and moulds set in, I'd take them off.

these are the main leaves, so they are not getting water splash. There are still a lot of healthy leaves on the plant, but this problem seems to be effecting a few plants now, some worse than others.

They look better than mine do!

First year I have tried courgettes and mine look really pants. Planted them May Day weekend. They have 2 sets of leaves and are tiny. Growing at a snails pace.
