I have discovered an inch and half long one eighth of an inch wide vine split about three feet from the stump on the main vine. What should do? Need some help.

If it is a lengthwise split you probably have no problems Mike. They usually heal themselves in a couple weeks or so. You can use a couple bread ties to pull the split back closed but remember to take them off after a few days. Don't sweat it, you're ok.

I Suggest Vigor Cal & Vigor Cal Phos--for fungal problems--and for healing splits in vines and pumpkins---

I had one split the other way. I put a little fungicide on it and things are fine. Actually have two females on it right now. Don't sweat it.
