Hope you're feeling better. It's a good time of year to take cuttings - so if you know someone who wants their rosemary, lavender, sage, wormwood, curry plant, hyssop etc "pruned" you could get a head start on the seedlings. When I got my first garden I bought "The Complete Book of Herbs" by Lesley Bremness and tried to grow every herb in the book! Celia Ow! that sting sounded painful. Hope you’re feeling better.

On the wasp front - it sounds like a nasty sting. My brother is allergic to wasps and has been stung a few times in his life - each time the reaction progressively worse...so its always best to avoid them...but wasp love eating those caterpillars, so they aren't all bad.
