when the pictures become available in a day. Should I be burying the plant parts right now? The plants have tipped and are near the ground, but I am paranoid I will put stress on them if I bury them. My 510 Gerry is showing some yellowing on its largest leaf. I believe it is dying because it had a lengthwise split in the stem near the hill. I found that a week ago, but the plant is still green and appears to be growing. Drop me an email or post here if you would. Thanks.

lengthwise splits do not kill plants or even harm them in most cases. I have had some splits where you can see through the vine and put your hand through it and it's fine. Just make sure you put something on the split to dry it out so it scabs over, like vigor cal or a fungicide. Some leaves have bright yellow blemishes or spots, this is normal, not sure what you have without the pic. Jimmy
