Q.Do I have a problem?

Zone Hightstown NJ | Anonymous added on July 8, 2017 | Answered

I brought home a zucchini plant and was watching an online video on how to best take care of it to help it grow zucchini and the video mention blight or fungus and I looked and saw my leave looked similar to what the blogger described.
Can you tell me if I should prune these leave in the photos I have supplied and what to do to protect the plant and my other plants.
I have a small patio garden going and what to keep it going.

Thank you in advance

I would suspect this is Aphids.
You can treat the plants with Neem Oil. Neem Oil is organic and safe for people, pets and bees.
It will take care of most sucking pests and also works as a fungicide.
