Why not wrap the stems in nylon stockings? I'd try it if I had a problem. When I did, as I recall, they only liked the thickest, oldest part of the stem. If they still tried, then they'd be further down the vine, and not so likely to kill the whole plant. Medical gauze, the stretchy kind, might work, too, but I think it stays wet too long.

I would never use Sevin, and bt washes away too fast for me here. Thank goodness they hate our weather.
