OK so Spring's here and time to get my DCs ready for growth. All my stuff was outside and unprotected.

First off, I lost a pup

It was merely 2.5 ft tall and rotted in the ground due to standing water. Poor thing R.I.P.

Another big DC is hard and green to the top so I guess it will be fine... however I am concerned about another one and this is my question.. How far do I need to cut the P-Stem back on this one? It was a little soft in a spot about 1ft down so i cut just 2 inches below it. And in the middle of the cutting is a spot of brown. Do I need to cut further down until it's green all the way through the middle?
