[Post for Haynes and Percy - TOMATOES!]
Haynes mayen't be up yet, but Percy has a bad habit of getting up early, and since sunrise he's been on his hands and knees weeding the garden in the woods.
He's comfortable again in the woods; he lived there most of his life, and when he was questing, he stayed to the woods as much as possible, and they make him feel safe and perfectly all right. His cabin is built into a clearing, so the sun shines down on the big garden patch he's cut and hoed and tilled with his hands and a stick or five, and planted, so far, with started broccoli, peppers, sugar snap peas, and potato eyes; there's a row marked tomatoes, but the tomatoes are still in little cups on the kitchen tables; they haven't grown very well, and are only just now sprouting.
There are also little strawberry plants in the far end of the garden, and that's where he's weeding, knees grubby and dirt streaked across his forehead from wiping his hair away from his face unconsciously.
