Damaged Stem

[21again]

I made the mistake of leaving one of my courgette seedlings in the hall on the floor and someone must have caught it and bent the stem.

I put a bit of surgical tape around the base where it had nearly snapped in half.

It hasn't grown as quickly as my other one but it does have more courgette buds growing on it and it is less than 12" tall, I guess that is because it is/was stressed out.

Poor little devil has another one further up its stem now as knocked one of my wire staging shelves onto it this morning!

I have had to bury it deeper in a bigger pot so I'm not holding my breath.

It's a shame as there were quite a few buds on it.
