@emmyem84 I also question whether I should stick within a niche or post about every little random thing. I was just getting ready to post a post about a snack I found at Costco lol which is totally different than anything I do normally.
I love gardening myself, last spring/summer I was doing a lot of posts about my garden and going out to the nurseries with my gf, she's a huge fan of cacti and succulents. I was surprised there was so much interest in gardening on here. Id love to see some posts about gardening. I just killed my lime tree recently so need to get another for this summer
I heard that you can grow Fig trees in Chicago, not like I eat figs... I just want to say I have a fig tree... lol a lime tree would probably be way more useful since I actually use lime juice in recipes. Honestly, I think that you should just post whatever you want, its early enough on Steemit to see what will work for everyone. If steemit stays a "blogging platform" then it will be bad to write about everything and not sticking to a specific niche. If Steemit goes towards a more casual social media platform, people will be selling "themselves" and you will follow people based on who you like personally. I hope its the latter, because I dont think I could write about one thing forever, no matter how much I like doing something, haha.
If your into gardening this Spring you have to checkout Ted's Greenhouse in Tinley Park. Awesome greenhouse and nursery, a lot of really cool and unique plants, if yoru into cacti or succulents they have a ton of them, have whole sections of carnivorous plants as well, fruit trees, etc, etc, etc. The guy who owns the place is a cute little 96 year old guy who's been running the place forever, he's still in there everyday helping customers and answering questions. If your into gardening and planting you'll love it.
