Did you plant the canes right away? Very important not to let them dry out before planting. In what type of growing medium did you plant them? And it would be helpful to know what growing zone you are in, because as already mentioned, they may still be in a dormant stage. The first leaves...

Done! Commissioned the artwork to my two children...

Wow, great suggestions so far, keep them coming! Sven, yeah the California sun has taken its toll on his complexion. Why it seems like only yesterday he arrived at our doorstep: We had to get him acclimated to his new surroundings right away and sat him in the leather chair with a TV remote:

All transplants into raised beds: Tomatoes, Summer squash, Zucchini, Watermelon, Pole Beans. Pictures here: http://harmonyvalleyfarms.wordpress.com/2011/03/05/progress-on-raised-bed/
