Two inches broke off from the end of the vine? Yes, they will regrow. Rodney

Hi ggg, I have all my plants in smart pots. So I can just dump the soil and start fresh. I just pulled a huge zucchini off the plant, so I hate to give it up. I think I may be able to save one stalk, but if not, I will try another squash. I am going to HD to get some BT and another squash plant. What kills me is that I think I saw the moth. A black and red thing. But I didn't know what it was, so I left it alone. I wish I would have killed it. My cuke hasn't been affected yet as far as I can see. It was much smaller than the squash plant when we started them and is just now getting big. So maybe it bypassed the borers. But I will put BT on it anyway and keep looking for eggs.

I'd prune off the bottom leaves as it grows. I don't know best method with the cage because I staked mine, pruning the bottom leaves and tying the vine to the stake as it grew.

Diakon, This year I broke several tomato stems. One Merced broke when I was transporting it home from Texas in the trunk with my luggage. I rooted the broken off top in water and planted it in a pot for a month then into the garden. It's doing better than the Merced that didn't break. Okay ... I broke off another seedling when it was about 8" tall ... broke it off about halfway up but not completely off ... only left a little hinge of skin on one side of the stem. I taped it up with ordinary masking tape. I stuck the tape down on the table and peeled it up a couple of times to get about half the stickum off the tape so it wouldn't stick to the plant too bad. I left it that way for a week or so, and the plant healed back up fine. Now that it's in the garden it just has a lump there were the scar is. Okay now ... a fellow sent me some plants from Louisville and the post office broke off three of the tops. Broke them off near the root crown. I just potted them up as is with the roots and whatever inch or two stem was left outta the ground and now they have sprouted new branches and made new growing tips. Good luck with whichever way you go with it.
