Not sure what you mean homer? Are you referring to the tendrils. Some people leave them and some pinch them off. I've been pinching most of them. When covering the mainvine, be careful not to cover up the male flowers and the secondary vines. If you do, they may not form correctly, or at all. You can cover the secondary vines after they grow a about 2' or more. Don't cover the vine tips, of course.
