## Description

A garden on atpota.to: a grid of plots anyone can plant a flower in. atpota.to's community patches live in its own repo, one per season; anyone can keep their own garden in theirs, by convention at record key "self". Flowers point at it with a strong ref. It is open from opensAt (or createdAt, without one) until closesAt, if it has one.

| Property | Type | Required | Description |
|----------|------|----------|-------------|

| `opensAt` | `string` (datetime) | No | Flowers can be planted from this time; without it, from createdAt. |
| `planting` | `string` | No | How many flowers each account grows in the garden's open patches. "one": one each, staying in the plot it was planted in; planting again does nothing until it's dug up, and only an account's first flower shows. "move": one each, and planting again moves it (its newest flower shows). "many": as many as there are free plots. Without it, "one". |
| `rows` | `integer` | Yes | Plots down. |
