Home of happy lil plants

i had worse than that this week twice evennn with wind fence it can be hard on young plants, someone else can speak up but i cut the leaves with broken stalks here in my humidity they will rot otherwise here, wait for a second/3rd opinion though before broke leaf cutting

They look okay to me. I'm sure they'll recover just fine.

That's nothing- you can use bamboo stakes and zip ties to prop those back up with folded over stalks. You can even leave them like that the rest of the season

Give it 10 days and you have forgotten all about it... Don't slack on burying the vines though...and put some wind block up until the corn grows in...lookin good

Thanks for the feedback fellow growers. This being my first year growing I thought all my hard work was done and over for the season. I guess I've got lots of repairs to do tomorrow morning. One of my plants I'll be pollinating in the next few days.

Get yourself some silt fencing at the local home improvement store. Two rolls and you can deter some of that wind damage. Check out Master Ron's diary see how he surrounds the entire plant to protect it.

Thanks Wizzy, I'll check out that diary. The problem with living up here in Walhalla ND. There's not a home improvement store within a hundred miles. After the wind was over I ended up pulling one plant. Still leaves me with 5. 3 with lots of repairs including many splints and missing leaves. 2 plants aren't to terribly bad. I'll survive that's the main point lol...
