<< 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!!!

Al,
The vines will survive. Even with the main vine terminated, you can select
a good side vine and do a little pruning and turn one of the sides in to a
new main. Don Blacks world record holder was on a side vine.
