I'm thoroughly disappointed, I do have a stem of about 6inches on the other potential grower and seeds not yet sprouted.

It's when they're young and tender the snails go for em. Once they've hardened up to the outdoors they are usually safe. Somethings might have a nibble at the leaves but they won't get properly eaten. Enjoy the holiday - and pray for the occasional shower while you are away
