Thanks so much for the responses.
Yes, Gary, this will definitely be an exercise in patience. We bought this home just over 1.5 years ago and the landscaping was dismal, and that's being nice. I've never had a green thumb, but I figured I would have to just jump in. Things are coming along quite nicely, and most of what I bought is pretty quickly giving some nice results. The peony, which I am MOST excited about, takes so much longer. Lol. It's hard to wait! It is so fun to watch though! And I found another bud today!!! A different plant, the other I bought from a local nursery, so it may be better rooted. I can't wait to see what it looks like! I believe it was Dr. Alexander. ( my phone totally died last week when I had saved all of my logs for what I planted. So it will all be a surprise! 🤷🏻♀️ Cuz Lord knows I can't remember back that far. )
