Can my courgette plant be saved?!

My best courgette plant's stem has completely severed at the base :(
I'm guessing that there is nothing I can do to save it but I will try anything. I'm a pretty gutted as it even had a developing courgette on it. It is currently sat in a pint glass of water.

 

I'm afraid its gone to that great courgette place in the sky.

:(

Is it too late to sow a replacement?

 

You said it was your best plant, I assume from that there are others?

Normally, 2 or 3 plants will produce enough courgettes for a family.

Steve...

 

Ok thanks. There were 3 and there are now 2. One of them I would say is a "runt" though. Maybe it will come through for me eventually!

I should look on the bright side and use the pot for something else!

 

Its not too late to sow another if you really want to but it will be some time before you get fruits from it, just later in the season is all.

Thanks for all the advice guys. I'm trying not to get the plants too wet whilst watering. I'm not sure if that was the problem.

I thought I'd try and keep it in the pint glass and interestingly, although the old leaves have died, new growth has come through and I have managed to harvest two small courgettes and I've eaten some of the flowers, so at least all was not lost!

 

Haha. No, basically I stuck the severed plant into a pint glass of water. There's some soil at the bottom of the glass that has fallen off the plant, and it's in my conservatory. It has gone on to keep producing flowers and small courgettes but I think the end is near!
