um,... leaves on courgette plants are pale green, some are yellow, no manure in soil as only dug the plot this year, do you think i should feed the plants with tomato food? :?

I have a few as well - sometimes I think the frost might have caught it, but I'm not sure... mine don't get heaps of sunshine, either...

mine only went in the bed about 2 weeks ago :oops:

maybe they're not settled in yet?.........

they're in full sun.

Frost damage is not yellow, might settling in,but also sound like hungry!

what would you reccommend? tomato food or cluck pellet sprinkled around them?

tom feed for a quick fix,pellets take time to work but you can crush em and dilute them in water.

If you water them and feed them check for damage in the 'stem' ish part of the leaf. One of my leaves has gone yellow on the plant and i had no idea why, until i noticed the thing had been slightly crushed.

Mine get watered regularly, and are sitting in ground which was well fed at the start of the season... hmmm
