So my baby plants, and i mean baby like only a week out of the ground, were mauled by a vicious armadillo last night. So they are destroyed, or so i thought! I found this one (picture below) and the root is still strong but i dont know how recent the attack happened. I need to know if replanting her will save her, or is it a lost cause?

Sorry mate.... May be worth starting afresh.

I would recommend keeping all seedlings indoors till at least 4'' growth, then protecting access to them outdoors.

I had them on a screen porch, but somehow that critter managed to get up there, tore into the pots and everything. I found this one buried under all the dirt. Just sucks to have to start over. I'll probably plant it anyway, guess it wouldnt hurt to try

hi sorry for your loss but this is just something you dont hear everyday. i have had mine destroyed by raccoons. they kept getting into my garbage so i move the cans inside. they got mad and tore up everything especially all my seedlings so i know your pain. they even chewed up all my nozzels on my gas cans that used to be outside.

and again im sorry because the armadillo part made me laugh a little.

good luck on a fresh start and find a way to make them armadillo proof.
