Re: flat vines


Really hard to say  if your vines are only 2 ft long?  Most normal vine will send
out leaves in an alternate fashion(but still not always)  Flat vine seems to send
out 2 maybe three maybe four leaves all at once .  Seems to lose the alternation
pattern (kinda cool but only once- it loses its novelty fast) Your in a
predicament that i think you can take your time before you cut a main that is
suspect.  A week won't hurt you much just to watch and see if it get
worse......MB
