OK, we recovered from our arctic blast and everything looks really bad.

My question is this; I really doubt we will hard freeze again this winter. We'll get frost for sure though.. that's 100%. Maybe down to 30 again since the season is so early. So would it be ok to cut the P-Stem back to green now? Then cap with plastic?

I am worried if rot will set in and gradually go down the plant. Happened to my DC last year
