How this garden works

One note, one idea. Notes grow; they are never “finished” — an evergreen is
just a note worth keeping tended.

Lifecycle

status in frontmatter:

Status	Meaning
`seedling`	raw idea, rough, half-right — anything goes
`evergreen`	refined, linked, worth re-reading

Blog drafts in blog/ add: idea → draft → ready → published.

Capture — anything interesting lands in inbox/ or today’s daily
note. No structure required. Don’t organize while capturing.
Plant — turn a capture into a note in seeds/ (template:
templates/seed). One idea per note, a working title, a first pass in
your own words.
Tend — revisit, revise, split, merge. Add wikilinks to related
notes. When a note holds together and says one thing well, move it to
evergreens/ and set status: evergreen.
Map — when 5+ notes cluster around a topic, write a Map of Content
in maps/ that links them with one line of context each.
Harvest — when an evergreen (or a cluster) is worth sharing, start a
draft in blog/ (templates/post). ready drafts get copied to
~/projects/blog and published from there. Mark published + link.

Prefer linking over sorting — the graph is the organization.
Notes in sources/ record what a source says; notes in seeds/
record what I think — keep them separate, link heavily.
Deleting is fine: compost a note by stripping it back to the one sentence
that was true.
Repo machinery (_specs/, _questions/, …) is not garden content —
those are project-management folders for agents.
Commit after every tending session (git repo under the vault).
