What is causing one of my plants to have one whole vine of leaves to droop? The rest of the plant is ok! I am a first time alantic grower! Can I save the plant? Please help me!

Bimmy there could be a whole bunch of reason why one vine is drooping. Did you check it for a split. Somewhere between the last good leaf and the first bad leaf look for sign of bug hole etc. Was this vine hit by any herbicide. Gonna need a bit more info. Good Luck!

Vine Borers strike again......go back on the vine to where it starts to droop...before the droop, uncover the vine if covered...look for signs of an insect that borers into the vine , eating as it bores until the vine is all disconnected and mushy....

Bimmy,

This has happened to me when I was pruning or pulling weeds.If it's just 1 vine the plant should recover. Too much roughness or severing the wrong vine will cause vine shock. If all the vines start drooping (SVB or cuke beetles) could spell the beginning of the end!
