I have several male flowers along the vine. Will it hurt to cover them?
I just buried some more of my vine, but was careful not to cover male or
side runner vines that are now starting. I spotted my first female
flower on hill #2, it is only out about 6 feet, right at the end of the
vine.  Placed a rod at the vine tip this morning as a marker, when I got
home, the vine had grown about 4-5 inches.  Is that about right or not?
Does it do any good to bury the side running vines also? I'll probably
have more questions as the days go on.
