You should get under the ground with it to keep an eye on things.

I planted some Cheerios 6 years ago - not donut bushes yet.

It may not take long.  I helped our kids plant a stick years ago and -
whadda ya know - that money tree had dollar bills taped to it the next
morning!  Just be patient.

I dunno but that hot dog tree that Homer Simpson planted is finally up.

Last year a friend of mine buried her cat in the garden.
This spring here is what she found growing there:

cat's claws
cat's ears
cat's paws
cat's whiskers
and cat tails!
There were no kittens, sorry.
