My seedlings often suffer set backs and I need to reseed. MICE move in every winter, and they love to nibble sprouts. Most recently they are nipping off my onions. I keep traps set but ineveitably young shoots get nipped. Once the starts gain some thickness the mice leave them alone.
I had the ducks invade my garden last summer/fall and they ate not only fruit but also the foliage.
My point is you are NOT alone. These things happen.
Yellow pear is one that I plant every year now. It makes me happy even if the flavor is rather bland. SUngold was always a draw last summer, sandwiched between green evy and sweet 100 and yellow pear, and green zebra. These were replanted several times due to sheep that jump out of their pen. ( stopped only after reconfiguring their pen and preventing access to a large rock that was used to trampoline over the 5 foot fence.)
Always set backs. Develope solutions and preventions. Replant. Then hope!
