another Option might be:
"I will keep a wary eye on the garden´s further development " Or : "...... on how this garden develops further."
| disagree |
The Misha
: This is a garden they are talking about,for crying out loud!You do not "pursue its further development".Well, maybe in DE you do,I wouldn't know, but definitely not in EN.Besides,a "wary eye" implies "Oh,shucks!Now I have to watch that damn garden again!"

sorry, but your definiion of to keep a wary eye is everything but correct. What is meant by it, is in the present case I will keep watching its growth carefully, with attention and even with a loving eye.
