Penny had been in the greenhouse, but after 15 minutes, she had found the heat unbearable...

Going to go back into the student garden again, for fresh air... She figured she might as well plant the second plant for her Herbology homework...

Penny had decided to try and grow some Wormwood... Reading her textbook, she read that Wormwood, like Knotgrass, could help to cure sicknesses and other illnesses. The plant was also used in the Draught of the Living Dead and was one of the key ingredients in the potion...Wormwood is a well known plant in the muggle world, as well. Muggles use it in many medications.

Making sure that she had a good bit of space with some shade, before planting, because apparently Wormwood had this chemical called 'Absinthin', can be toxic to other plants. So for this reason, she had to grow it several feet away from other plants in the garden.

Scattering the seeds on the ground.... reading the book again, it said to lightly walk over the area to press them into the ground.....

So that's what she did, having scattered the seeds, she lightly walked over them.... then standing back to admire her work, noticed the ground dry....

Getting the trusty watering can from the supplies closet, she gave the soil a good watering making sure not to over-water (she didn't want to drown the newly planted seeds)..
Writing out a tag for the plant:

SPOILER!!: Tag

Plant = Wormwood
Date = February 2075
Student = Penny Laughgood
House = Hufflepuff
Year = First Year

Looking at her Wormwood and turning around to look at the Knotgrass, Penny thought that Healer Lilyan Moretti, would at least be happy with her work, having planted two items that could be used for curing sickness & illness...
