The Seed Catalogue Entry

An heirloom seed-catalogue page for something you're trying to grow in yourself, set in serif like a page torn from a nurseryman's list. Name the variety and its common name ("Deep Work, syn. 'the quiet mornings'"), then fill the catalogue's spec row: honest days to maturity, the sowing depth that is really the daily dose, hardiness, and the sun it does best in. Write the blurb the way a catalogue writes one — habit, temperament, what it resents, what it crowds out once established. Then the three lists that decide whether anything comes up: germination requirements marked non-negotiable, companion plants that raise the yield, and the known pests that have eaten this before with what keeps them off. It closes on a harvest note — how you'll know it took. Goals come with deadlines. Seeds come with conditions, and no amount of wanting shortens a season.
