Probably tickets I'm afraid James. Anything thicker than a broomstick, smash up with a lump hammer and compost. If you don't need the land, the leaves will grow again for winter and spring greens. Not likely to flower into the 'sprouting'.
Next year, net your plants. Don't bother with horticultural suppliers. Too expensive. Buy scaffolding netting. Green is likely, but if you can get red, even better. Red netting is beneficial to photosynthesis. New study. Share/sell with a few friends and family as you get LOTS. Much cheaper and lasts years and years and years and years. A long time anyway.
