Making these work in gardening

• Put your zone and the current month on screen in every advice video. Gardening guidance without location context gets corrected in the comments instead of shared.
• Save clips all season from the same camera position. Seed-to-harvest arcs are the most rewatched gardening format, and you can't recreate June footage in September.
• Lead with the payoff shot when you have one. A full harvest basket earns attention that a bag of soil never will, then teach in the middle.
• Film in early morning light when leaves are upright and dew is visible. Plants look healthiest before heat stress, and that footage makes tours feel abundant.
