[MittleiderMethodGardening] Squash leaves fading
ONE of the 4 things that reduces leaf color is low N in the
soil.
ONE way to achieve that may be to overwater, continuously.
Hmmm?!? ;>) (NOT a super-pro, here... ;>)
Each of the 4 leaf color loss symptoms is a bit different in the way it shows on the leaf.
One is that the leaf color remains somewhat, but is missing in the veins.
In another, the opposite. (Wish I could find that link-info, again.)
It is logical, somewhat, as it shows if N is coming into a leaf, or not. If the issue is new, or old, or other.
Some of these discolorations are easier to see than to ID others.
But maybe a description will help someone here, help.
Notice also if they seem to be more at the basal end of the plant, or
at ends of vines...?
I'd suggest a lil dig to check soil moisture, and recheck your fert
additions or even fert available.
They are crummy, but I have resorted to a $15 meter to check for ferts.
There are chemical fert tests for low$ too, but most are 1-4 uses, per purchase.

((PDT))I live in the head of Phoenix valley. Decided to start some Fall
squash plants. They looked fine until this week and the center of the
plant looks like the color is going out of all the leaves and why I am
saying fading. Not sure how else to describe it. It doesn't look like
anything on the surface of the leaves, but an internal condition. The
watering has been s twice a day otherwise the leaves were dropping. Do
you think I should give them some hydrogen peroxide for oxygen?
