One of my courgette plants is looking a little sickly and is producing nobbly fruit. I don't know what's wrong with it, but suspect it might be cucumber mosaic virus. I think the variety is defender, which I thought was meant to be resistant, but maybe I am wrong. I will try to attach some pictures. Can anyone help me identify what's wrong with it?

Knobbly courgies can indicate CMV. Have lost six plants of differing varieties to it this year. I must be the only gardener who can't grow courgettes. Keep an eye out for the leaves looking mottled too.Location ... NottinghamComment

Thanks Mr Bones! I thought it probably was! I have dug up the affected plant, hoping that my second courgette plant doesn't succumb too! First time I've ever had this problem with them! Hope you have some survivors too!Comment
