White veins on courgette leaves

We have 4 courgette plants each in a 10 inch pot in an unheated greenhouse.
They seem healthy but 3 of them have white veins on the first set of true leaves the other leaves are still green. Is this normal ?

I often notice this early in the year and have never had any problems. Others may have different ideas. But I wouldn't worry at the moment.

Thanks for the reassurance that the white veins are not unusual.

Some varieties of courgettes have white veins or silvery patterns on the leaves. My Verde di Italia has a nice pattern and it helps me spot which are courgettes and which are squashes before I plant them out without having to look for the labels.
