A happy note.
From time to time I'm certain we all experience a sad, decapitated seedling. Once in a while, they will sprout a new growing tip. This is a very rare variety ( selected from a couple of related hybrids back in the mid-2000's) and my 2008 seed experienced really low germination.
Happy day! Three of about 200 germinated, but I expect at least two... Sent from my moto x4 using Tapatalk

I know the feeling! One time I was too clumsy in helping off a helmet and had just one tiny bit of one cot leaf left. It took a little longer, but eventually the seedling did manage to grow leaves, similar to your miracle baby above! It's just fun to watch and see nature repair itself when possible.

Yeo for sure you gotta love it. I just updaed an old bean piost with a story too.
I have a very tiny Wild Fred who is trying hard and he is on my special prayer list too. Well done, good to see someone else getting excited about a wee seedling |
