Some advice would be appreciated for a novice gardener. I'm growing
courgettes from seed in a mix of soil and potting compost, and in an
unheated conservatory - in East London. The plants are growing strongly
but
the lower two leaves have turned a distinct yellow and the upper leaves
are
also yellowing. They get plenty of sun and are watered daily. I realise
that
I have to plant them out for pollination or d.i.y. with a cotton bud.
Is the yellowing normal?
and any general tips welcome.
Hugh



You may be watering them too much, Hugh - are you sure they need watered
every day? I have courgettes in large pots and water them weekly at the mo.
