cycadjungle,

I should not speak for @Dave, but I think there is some "OK zone" in-between talking about how you garden for a market, and posting ads or weekly updates of your price list. My take is that literal advertising and selling are not accepted in any forum except maybe :
Classified and Group Buys
and Garden Deals

Since I just called on Dave, he's bound to see your next reply, and can tell you if you went into "too much commercial detail" Then you can edit it or Dave can hide it. But it doesn't sound like you want to post a link and and an ad.

I don't remember explicit "Thou Shalt Not" commercial-posting rules and I couldn't find a thread like that in the Welcome and Help Forum. Hit-and-run advertisers who join one day and post an ad for their business the same day but never contribute anything are NOT welcome. (I see you've already contributed multiple plant images and database proposals.)

Some posts are removed when it's clear that intent was to promote a business, not share a gardening discussion.

I found this in Terms and Conditions:
"the Content is not spam, is not machine- or randomly-generated, and does not contain unethical or unwanted commercial content designed to drive traffic to third party sites or boost the search engine rankings of third party sites, ..."

I would guess that you're OK if you don't start advertising inside the post.
