This part of Boston had a severe thunderstorm on Tuesday evening that beat up the plant a bit. Some small tree branches hit the plant. I lifted up some damaged stems yesterday and the sun seemed to help stand them back up a bit too. I leave bent stems and leaves if they still look healthy, but if any are just lying on the soil I prune those off and then cover the cut with soil. Hopefully the storms tonight are not too bad as the wind is blowing pretty good right now. More vine burying this weekend a couple secondaries are a bit twisted after the storm so I will sort them out as well. Last year I ended up walking all around the plant and I did some damage so I will try not to repeat that mistake this weekend. If some flowers and/or tertiary vines are hard to access I will probably just leave them.
