Hi Guys,

We had a severe storm here yesterday and our plants sustained hail damage. The vines were buried and there is no damage to them, but the leaves are a mess. We posted a picture in our diary of our 841 Pistono plant that got hit the worst. What should we do to help the plant recover? Thanks for any advice.

We gave the plants some Miracle Gro and some Seaweed/Fish. There is lots of new growth with male flowers. We are also beginning to see female buds on the tips. The plants would be so pretty if not for the shredded leaves. Thanks you guys for your support. We will check out the articles.
