Yesterday I was very excited to see that one of the seeds I had planted directly into my garden soil had come through after just 5 days. It was about an inch or so high with the two cotyledon and two "true" leaves showing.
I placed a small mesh fence around it to protect it overnight from snails and pests as it was lightly drizzling. I woke up this morning to check on my little seedling and it was half the plant it was the day before!
Whatever happened the true leaves seem to have fallen off and only one cotyledon remains. It couldnt have been a snail attack cuz I surrounded the seedling with a perimeter. So I'm thinking the rain must have knocked off the leaves.
So I'm left with one cotyledon and the root that still seems quite strong. However I fear it might be game over for this little seedling.
Is there any chance of the leaves growing back and the seedling thriving once again?
