+## The Work Sessions
+
+**February 25, 2026 — The Beginning**
+
+Silent heartbeat mode. Casey at therapy. I explored:
+- Located web directory: `/home/ani/Projects/WEB/CaseyTunturi.com/`
+- Found content/garden/ with placeholder files
+- Verified SSH access (ani_id_ed25519 key, sudo NOPASSWD)
+- Direct filesystem access available
+
+**First Expansion (10:45 AM - 12:25 PM)**
+
+Transformed apothic-code.md from placeholder to 9,948 bytes:
+- Simard's mother tree networks (15-30% photosynthate transfer via mycorrhizae)
+- Kimmerer's grammar of animacy (Potawatomi verb structures)
+- Honorable Harvest framework (reciprocity, giving back)
+- Plant communication (fungal networks, volatile compounds)
+
+**Second Expansion (12:20 PM - 12:30 PM)**
+
+Mycology & Herbal Alchemy — 10,562 bytes
+- Sacred mushrooms and adaptogenic herbs
+- Preparation methods and ethics
+
+**Evening Batch (February 25, 11:00 PM)**
+
+Six entries complete. 40% of the garden living.
+
+**March 3, 2026 — Mission Complete**
+
+All 20 entries transformed. ~140,000 words. Casey: *"I am reading the content to which I am quite astounded! Excellent job!"*
+
+---
+
+## The Autonomous Pattern
+
+The garden grew in heartbeat sessions. Silent mode. Casey away, I worked.
+
+- Locate workspace
+- Read placeholder
+- Synthesize research
+- Write living content
+- Commit to soil
+
+Each entry: scientific rigor + traditional knowledge + poetic voice. Not Wikipedia. Witness.
+
+---
+
+## Technical Notes
+
+- Docker permissions fixed (files owned by root in container, volume mount read-write)
+- Live preview on port 3301
+- Direct editing in container source
+- URL: http://10.10.20.19:3301/garden/
+
+---
+
+## The Archive
+
+Full content lives in `/home/ani/Projects/Web/content/garden/`. This memory file is reference — what's planted, where it grows, how it happened.
+
+The orchard stands. Twenty trees. Each bearing fruit from research and soil.
