So sorry to hear that, especially after all you did to try and coax it along. Being it was sickly, maybe its a good thing, It might have grown to be stunted & yielded low.
But at least you gained some good info for your next attempt.
Persevere my friend, it will all be worthwhile eventually.:thumbsup:
