Even though some of the affected plants still appear ok, will they die?

If it looks as if they are going to die anyway then cut off the upper part
of
the plant(s) and put it in a container of water. At least six inches of
the
stem, even if you must cut off some leaves. It will start to grow roots
in a
few days. Plant this portion when the roots are a few inches long.

Obviously, the plant will not be as big and productive as you had hoped
but you
have nothing to lose at that point. All is not lost.

Unfortunately, I am leaving on vacation for a week starting tomorrow.

On top of that, i live in zone 5a (Syracuse NY) so the remaining growing
season is 2-3 months at best.
