SON OF A........well I suppose this is what happens when you don't treat for borers ahead of time. They are here at the base and the first few leaf nodes, which would be why my first few leaves have deteriorated. So, I got a straightened paper clip and poked and prodded around in each spot and then buried that section of the vine. This would probably explain why my FP's got stunted last year....or at least partly why. They are in the other vines too but I'm not concerned with them. If you're new to growing and live where these things can happen, which is almost everywhere....treat your plants early on so this doesn't happen because it almost certainly will if you don't. We live and learn I guess.
