Hey Everybody,

We are experiencing a bit of wind here in the Atlanta area today. I could hear the wind outside, so I walked out and immediately noticed my HUGE costata romanesco zucchini plant toppled over on its side. Upon further inspection, I noticed that three of the leaf stems that shoot out from the main trunk are bent/torn and about to break. The only reason they haven't broken off is b/c the plant is well watered and the stems aren't brittle enough of a material to just snap.

Should I cut these stems off or wait and see if the plant can heal itself?

Please advise if you are a seasoned grower of squash:-)

Thanks!
