There is a lot of discussion surrounding leaves and their diseases or lack of nutrition. I planted a courgette in a dustbin which also has a couple of grapevines going from it into the greenhouse. All are doing really well but am confused about the courgette leaves. When it was younger the leaves looked all discoloured and I was tempted to cut them off but didn't. Looking back I think they were just camouflaging themselves. I just wondered if they are normal or should we not worry too much about leaves on this particular veg. It's my first year growing them and may be useful to other newbies.

One of mine looks like that too BM. The plant seems healthy enough though -
That's what a nice healthy courgette looks like, BM! Well done.
Is it the 'green bush' variety?Whooops - now what are the dogs getting up to?Comment

Yup, that's perfectly normal for a courgette BM, all mine have varying degrees of leaf marking. When they are yellow and dying, I cut them off. It doesn't affect the fruit.Granny on the Game in SheffieldComment
