That’s good to hear, it’s funny I’ve got some plants that I left for dead (hostas) and they came back this year after tidying up the mulch last year. They weren’t shaded though, so I believe they got cooked.

It’s sprouted, you can see it on the back lattice, probably just buried it deeper, but who knows. I doubt these will be tall enough, next year I can build something more permanent, mainly throwing stuff at the soil and seeing what works and I can handle haha.

    That's the way to do it. Plants are hardier than they look and can survive a lot. Hostas are invincible and will hold on for a long time. If you can get a perennial to survive the first year it's usually good to go. It's the 3rd year things really take off
