Do seedlings recover from slug damage?

As a noob I hadn't considered the amount of damage slugs can inflict on young plants and a lot of my plot has been nibbled!

I put a load of pellets down on Saturday but are the plants likely to recover?

1st major setback in my allotment career!! 

Hi Stratts, it depends on whether the slugs have just nibbled the outer leaves or if they have taken out the growing tip in the middle.  If growing tip has gone, then there isn't much chance, but if only outer leaves, then the rest should still grow.

A couple of weeks ago I saw one of my cabbages in the middle of the block was dying.  When I looked, a mole had made a tunnel right underneath seveal plants and that one was going brown and lying almost on the ground.  I didn't get around to taking it out, but the other day I noticed that one side of it is leafing up again.  It looks like the moe destroyed half the root, but the other half are still growing!  I'll have a lopsided cabbage!! lol

echo echo echo ! 

 

I thought I'd lost all my pattypans that had been decimated by slugs and the growing tips munched.
One is definitely done for but the other 3 are putting out small leaves further down the stalk!!!
Just hope they get a move on!
(And slugs have been dealt with......)
