one or two of my courgettes are the same, doesn't seem to be doing them any harm though.
Thanks for the response ,

I have 2 x 4ft beds of runner beans. Both reached the top of the 8ft poles and started to produce good beans, but suddenly one whole bed has died off, covered in a sooty film. I had had a little problem with blackfly on this same bed, but I think this may have been because the plants were weakened as the other bed (alongside) was unaffected. Anyone have any idea what the problem might be? I have destroyed the affected plants but now notice that a few of the second bed are getting yellow leaves.
So far I have had no problem with sooty deposit on my runner beans and I am growing then in the same bed as last year. Remains a mystery.
