Hi everyone.

First time posting here, second year growing giants. Looking for some advice from the experts!

I've got some leaf issues that I can't quite identify... I'm hoping it's not cucumber mosaic virus, but I do have a major aphid infestation at the moment that will be dealt with next week.

My main concern is that if it is cmv, do I have to cull the plants? New growth all seems to be healthy, plant vigour is very good and leaves aren't deformed... It seems to be spreading throughout one pumpkin plant more than the other two, and the two squashes I have are unaffected.

I think its just a magnesium deficiency Epsom salts will stop it but wont repair the damage

Glad you think it's nothing serious. The damage isn't too extensive so that's good. I did google deficiencies and didn't think magnesium deficiency looked the same but I have Epsom salts so will give that a go. Thanks. =)
