If you drop a bit of vinegar on it, does it fizz? I'm thinking snails might be eating limestone for their shells and pooping it out. A proper...
That looks like slug or snail damage to me. I usually wait until they are a bit bigger before I put mine out. They can still get eaten but are...
Well that's a lot of advice to digest. Mine haven't germinated yet but I will bear all this in mind.
Perhaps if they were sown in a seed compost they could do with a little bit of fertilizer - half strength maybe? I tried N. sylvestris a few years...
