Re: another CA grower jumps in
Sounds very familiar. You definately can save it. Some of the
root will regenerate particularly if you bury them again
quickly. You may need some bamboo stakes to help prop up the
leaves and stablized the secondaries.
Be sure to pin the end of each secondaries down with two stakes
in a crossed pattern. This should help hold it down should the
wind return.
Good luck,
vince
