Drip tapes are all laid out in the patch and silt fence is up. There is still some damage from a recent cold snap along with very high winds. The cold temperatures resulted in the vines and leaf stalks becoming brittle and not very flexible and then the wind causing a stress on the plant. In short, my plants sustained many broken leaf stalks but I think they will recover, but right now they just do not look very uniform.

I was fortunate that none of the main vines broke, but two did roll on me and it was too cold to try and right them so I left them as is and will just have to adjust to the current plant growth pattern that I guess would be called cork screw;-)
