The Plant

Spray with Fungicide first to help heal damage.  Do not remove any leaves that have even the smallest section that can produce food for the plant.  Feed the plant heavily with liquid fertilizer.  In a day or two Foliar spray with liquid Fish & Seaweed or Liquid Fertilizer.

The Grower

Spend just enough time in the patch to do the things listed above for the next 4 or 5 days.  After putting so much work into a patch and having hail flatten it is very traumatic the less you see of it the better.  In 4 or 5 days hopefully there will be a big improvement.
