What Makes A Plant Start To Turn Yellow While Other Parts Are Still Green?

Question

The veggies look like they’re growing good they just have certain sections that start to turn yellow.

Answer 1

There are many reasons a plant starts to turn yellow. If just the leaf edges are yellow, it could be a potassium deficiency. If the lower leaves are turning yellow, it could be they are getting shaded from the leaves above and that is not a problem.
