Ive just gone out to cover my cabbage,kale and lettuce seedlings with fleece,i think they are all about 2inches high and have around 6 decent sized leaves each,they seem to be thriving and growing daily BUT.I thought they had tiny speckles of a red mite or something,but on closer inspection it is paint!!!,OH,had been spray painting the fence and although he covered the raised bed he has still accidently managed to get some light spray on my plants,(all of them!) are they all now doomed..too toxic to eat,or if i leave them to continue to grow will fresh unpainted leaves appear?..realy dont know what to do..thankfully I have some broccoli plug plants and loads of other seeds,but i dont know what else i could start now if i have to lift thes. :(

Im assuming my carrots and beetroots will be ok,they have managed to get an even lighter spraying,but they are still very tiny,and we will only eat the root part of these.
