Hi thanks for your replies - I think you are right the white patches are very localised and are only on the upper side of the leaves on older leaves. i will try to post a photo!

I'm growing courgettes with white along the veins - they're supposed to be like that. I think the variety is Romanesco, though I may have got that mixed up with the other one I'm growing.

It's quite usual for the plants to have leaves patterned with pale markings, so as the plants are otherwise healthy, I suspect that this is a normal feature rather than a problem. If you'd like to post a picture it'll be easy to confirm this.

Hi I wonder if anyone can tell me what is wrong with my courgette plants. They are growing well and producing fruits (are they fruits?) but have lines of white spots running along the leaf veins. What is causing this and do I need to do anything about it?
