What do I do? Last night we had a major hail storm, some the size of
golf balls! The vines that extended beyond the greenhouses don't look
too good today. Three of the four had the end of the primary vine
broken off and most of the leaves shredded. Do I remove the leaves?
Paste the holes in the w/ captan, bury the vines...? Any info will be
appreciated!!!

I would clean up the badly damaged parts and spray plant with Captan to help
the healing process. Give the plant a couple of gallons of liquid fertilizer
to help it through the shock.
