Varigation On My Squash Leaves

[Stubbornhillfarm]

I don't think the silvery pattern is anything to worry about. I've grown a zucchini the past few years with that pattern on the leaves. Just the natural pattern of the leaves.

Ohhh! Well that makes me happy! I was kind of bumming. I will spray the few that have the yellow spots on them though. Thank you for the uplift!

I was happy to see this post, I was worried about my zuchinni, because it started getting the silvery patterns as it grew. but it is still growing, producing -big and healthy, and the silver is more pronounced all the time. I think it must be natural on this kind.

in our neck of the woods that is the first sign on them having issues with the powdery mildew. i've had experience with it every year we get heavy rain.

Moma, you said it, not me.. That is what I think too. It may not turn out to be bad, if the weather cooperates.

I keep hearing about the silvery pattern, so here is a picture of our zuchini, they are blooming and bearing heavily...is this a disease, or is this normal?

That looks exactly like the pattern on mine. I've grown the variety for several years, and it keeps on going until the end of the season.

it doesn't seem to affect the plants for bearing fruit, but it will continue to affect the leaves. in fact, years with good amounts of rain the squashes seem to do very well vs most other plants! keep an eye on the leaves and any dead or dying ones pinch off and try not to throw them in a compost area or leave them near your growing plants. it's just a precaution i would take.

ok, I will watch, the garden is too important to us this year to risk losing out!!
