Frankie felt much more relaxed once he was in the garden. He'd been about to blow a fuse sitting around the house. He couldn't help it. Everything just seem to set him off, lately. He knew his behaviour over the last few days hadn't been exactly responsible, but he didn't see the point in trying to be better. Who was he being responsible for? No one would care what he did.
He still had things to do, however. He'd promised Susan a herb pouch to make her sleep, and he'd almost forgotten about it in all the confusion. Not to mention what had happened to his face a few days ago. He shuddered to remember it. His face! He didn't like to think of himself as vain, but seriously, there was no way he was going to let anyone see him with boils all over his face like a swamp troll. Eugh.
He sat in the grass by his patch, which was an eclectic mix of chillis, strawberries, various herbs and magic plants, carefully separated from the edible stuff. He'd planted some dreamwort specially, and it had grown enough to be picked and dried. He spread out the leaves and roots separately on a ceramic dish and performed careful heating charms until they were cooking nicely, and left them out in the sun. Then he went back to weeding and tending the rest of the herbs, perhaps pulling out the unwanted specimens with a little more force than was necessary.
