Bush Bean Seedlings

Square Foot Gardening List - http://www.flinet.com/~gallus/sqft.html

Hi everyone.  This is my first time posting, although I've been avidly
reading the list now for about a year!  This is my second year at gardening,
the first attempt failed miserably.  For the most part things have been
going really well, up until now.  Yesterday, I went to my garden only to
find that "something", I'm thinking a groundhog, ate through the fence.  The
fence is made with green plastic fencing, and apparently whatever it was
chewed through enough "links" in the fence to get in.  (I went to the store
last night and bought chicken wire to reinforce the bottom half of the
fence.  Problem solved, hopefully.)  

Luckily, the damage wasn't as bad as it could have been.  It mainly
destroyed a patch of lettuce that had already bolted.  (Good thing I hadn't
pulled it yet!)  But it also ate the top half of most of my bush bean
seedlings, which were about 3 inches tall with leaves about an inch long.
My question to everyone is whether or not they will recover and grow new
leaves, or has the groundhog won round 1?

Thanks,
Jeannette Davis
SW PA, zone 6
