Courgette worry

[Bex]

On just one of my plants the leaves are yellowing at a dramatic rate. They are all planted outside and this particular one has been out the longest. What could be wrong? Thanks

Photo would help.

At guess I'd say water or nitrogen deficient. A pic of course would help greatly.

... or it's too cold for them, or you didn't harden them off ...

A couple of my courgettes went like that last year, turned out someone had been spraying weedkiller on the communal paths, in the wind... The plants were fine though, just a few leaves went bright yellow and dropped off. Is there any chance someone's been spraying near your plants?

A very big chance, the plot next door is overgrown and the committee sprayed it to try and entice someone to take it on. Looks like the mystery might be solved

Hopefully they'll pull through then - it's happened to us a few times but so far the spray hasn't actually killed any plants (or I'd be complaining!)
