This is good advice in general for sure.
I gave taken the approach, since 2015 when I finally joined the online community… that I show my gardens, the good the bad and the ugly and usually update my situation every week-ish. The breeders that I respect the most also did similar regular updates but many seem to have migrated to instagram… which is a part of the internet I am not part of. I suppose if I was eagerly chasing sales I could revamp my entire outlook on marketting but I kinda sit on the fence with that. I want people to aquire my seeds because I want people to enjoy the lines I work as much as I do. It;s never about hypes or fads and in the situation with the Coastal Blueberry… I was originally working that line for friends and I too grow here in our climate and short season. Fate just kind of pushed it to the point where I was impressed enough, and my friends growing the Fgens each summer were so impressed it was thier first request each spring when seeds were on the table. Anyhow… I digress.
I’ve been around since 2015 online.as tynehead tom (other sites) and here is the only site I am known as SHSC-1 but I wasn;t a sponsor at other sites. Lots of grow threads though and all my work is out in the open. So fancy packaging aside, I tend to gravitate towards breeders who engage on the forums and show thier work. That is the example I am trying to follow anyways.
