im just harvesting the garden now. no frost yet, but there should be some in a couple days.

ive read it wont hurt curing leaf just slow it down.

is it still ok for freshly picked leaf, all still green and full of juices?

You are way up in Edmonton and still have had no frost? I hate you. lol I got hit hard 3 weeks ago.
Don't let your leaf get frosted. Pick it green if you have to. It's better to deal with unripe leaf than frozen leaf. One it is picked and has wilted down and lost a lot of water, freezing temps won't really hurt it. But prolonged cold temps make curing a real challenge too, so my advise is to not wait too long and get to curing it.

i know its just luck i guess, ive been neglecting it re roofing fixing my transmission etc before it gets too cold or the 4 letter word.

yeah some is coming off green. theyre forecasting freezing on Wednesday, after that looks like it wont freeze again for a bit. im just wondering if ill get frost damage to my freshly picked hang? or if it wont make much of a difference/less damage once its picked
