Hello,

I am a first time gardener. My zucchini plants are getting more and more white spots on them. I don't think it is fungus because the leaves do not feel powdery. I just noticed tiny white flies coming off the plant when touched. Are these flies detrimental to the plant and how to I get rid of them naturally?
I am also wondering if the plant with completely white leaves is just a variety with that coloration, if its getting sunburned, or if its the flies!?

Thanks for your feedback
