My courgette Plants are looking yellow and have stopped fruiting.
I planted out a courgette plant months ago, it started to fruit then stopped. The leaves are fully grown but have a motted yellow colour to them, the underside is pretty brown. I assume that they are infested with something, but unsure what and what would be the best organic method to treat them. The plant is between two gooseberry plants, it has been planted with fresh compost and organic chicken manure pellets. It also gets full sun.
I am about to plant out some more courgettes should I do anything before hand?
Hi Andy, What you describe sounds to me as if it could be frost damage. We very nearly a frost on June 14, in fact I lost a branch of a kiwi which had wrapped itself around an aluminium clothes line pole. Although the thermometer only went down to 5 deg. the branch in contact with the pole froze. If this is the case, the plant should recover. Your cultivation methods sound OK - they need plenty of water.
