Just some things to think about from someone who has never worked with romex cable and has no idea of the US electric code.
From experience if you cut it once, you or someone else will cut it again in the future. You might know where it is and remember from your mishap but others even after being warned won't have your experience and the same thing eventually will happen.
If you are not going to rerun the cable at a more robust way at the least you should dig and plant something like pavement bricks over the whole run of the cable. This would make someone stop and think before continuing digging with a pickaxe or running an earth tiller over it.
If you want to repair the cable there are some specialty repair kits for cable from cheap to very expensive. Depending how much you pay a kit will bring the cable as close to its former tensile strength and electric insulation. Go too cheap and moisture/water will eventually go in the connection which can corrode the terminal blocks and leak electricity to the surrounding area or between the cut cables.
I am from europe where round cables are the norm so don't really know about weatherizing something like a mostly flat romex cable so I can't recommend any commercial product. From what you have in Amazon the nearest I would get is something like this one, the gel would keep moisture/water out but there is very little tensile strengthening. For me electric insulation is very important as in my country everything is run after a RCD(GFCI) so any electrical leakage would trip it.
A DIY kit would be to get something like 2 watertight romex fittings and a waterproof junction box. Drill appropriate holes for the fittings and attach the fittings. Pass the cables, tighten them and do the electrical connections inside the box with some terminal blocks. Fill the box with some kind of electrical insulation gel and close it.
Whatever repair you do put at least something on top of the connection to protect it and mark it for future troubleshooting.
