I went to the patch today and on one of my plants a couple inches above the cots it was snapped. Its not broken off but either the wind or something got it. Should I pull it or is there any chance it will heal. This is the first time its ever happened to me. So any advice is appreciated Thanks

Jason,

I have recently had one break about halfway through the stem below the cots. The plant is still viable and will heal. Try to nurse it to the secondary-burying phase.
