Re: D#mn it! I broke the tip on the main vine
Hello Matt. If the vine is still attached, secure it by putting dirt on it
etc. Do not cover the split and watch what happens. Mother nature is a
wonderful thing. I once had a plant that hadn't even fallen over yet and
start crawling and the wind got a hold of it and broke it 300 degrees
around. That year the plant produced a 500 pounder.
