Ian, why does this particular plant have yellowing leaves and dark green veins, at least the leaves in the picture. I'm guessing the rest of the plant is a good color.
I would love to hear your thoughts on this.

They are just young leaves after the pumpkin so they will be naturally small and on the yellow side. Soil samples say I am on the low side of nitrogen but I won't give them anymore as pumpkins are pigs for the stuff.
I gave them a little calcium nitrate a few weeks ago which was almost too much.
I will share my latest soil sample with everyone when it gets back this week.
I hope this helps Ian

Looks to me like zinc and/or manganese not nitrogen??? Maybe at this point it's about a big pumpkin not pretty leaves. But a soil test might be useful...
