Broccoli leaves looking a bit off

Hi,

I'm a bit concerned about my broccoli leaves. They've always looked very good, but yesterday I notice the are a bit yellowy on top. Just spots. Can this be because they're too old? Broccoli leaves looking a bit off 601593

They're only a like 6 weeks though. The younger leaves looks okay.

Also, they look a bit dirty underneath. I've recently sprayed some Organic Insecticidal Soap for worms, so I was wondering if that made it easier for dust to stick to the leaves? Or if this causing the yellowness?

I tried to upload photos but for some reason it fails tonight.

Thanks in advance.

Hey White

Thanks for the reply. I'm thinking this is probably the normal cycle for them. This is my first box so I'm learning as I go.

As for the dirty leave at the bottom thing, it looks like it really is just dust. The plant looks fine though.
