Re: Secondarys growing straight up
It's not uncommon. Anchor them the best you can with soil or garden sticks like bamboo. Stick them in the soil over the vines in a cross pattern
during the heat of the day. Don't force the vines down, they will lay down on there own.
Your objective is to keep the wind from damaging the vines until they lay down.
