I've had a decent amount of courgettes from this plant up until now.
It's leaves were full green and it was producing very well, then it suddenly turned yellow and although has flowers on it has not grown any fruit in a few weeks or so.
Any ideas?

looks like it is in a fairly small pot for a plant which produces such big fruit - maybe the soil is just exhausted?

Hi onemanorthree, to me it looks like you don,t have enough soil or compost in the container and they may not be getting enough nutrients, courgettes are hungry feeders at this stage give them some tomato feed and see what happens.
Stomehead.

OK thanks, I've put some tomato feed and some veg fee into the pot and the new leaves look slightly better. Will let you know in a week or so how it looks.
