Howdy folks,
Waiting and patience is an important idea.
As far as French drains are concerned, make sure it is done right. I
got to take a look at one this week that was not done well, it had no
way for the water to outflow and turned into a sump pit that filled up
from all our rains and would lift whatever was planted on top of it
with hydrolic pressure.

If your a new home owner a good guide to have is the Grow Green
Native and Adaptive plants guide put out by the city of Austin. ( My
only quibble with it was the Oleander listing, but you can't ever make
all gardeners happy ) Take your time choosing plantings, observe and
learn it pays off in the long run.
