What are the parts of tending my mind garden? What actions can I take? What are the processes?

Some of these are suggested as 'workflows' in the garden/readme.

Extending existing notes

org-roam-find-file opens up a list of existing garden notes.

Creating new notes

org-roam-find-file can also be used to create a new note: type in the new notes title to get started.

Linking notes

A link to a new or existing note can be added to any org file with org-roam-insert, which pops up a list of existing notes - know that you can also create a new note this way, by typing out a new title.

Convert an org-element into a new note

There is a custom function for this behavior: russ/org-roam-refile-headline-to-note will take the current org-element and create a new file for it. Note that the element's headline will be used as the new notes title (and filename).

Refile an org-element into an existing note

I want this use-case to support easily collecting related ideas, such as a set of features/todos for a design document.
