You Must Sow These Seeds in Autumn

Save reference
What to study

Expectation Violation

Many gardeners treat autumn as the end of the season, a time to clear up, not sow. 'You Must' says some seeds belong in the ground now. The packet's label is turned away and blurred, so you can't tell what the seeds are.

How the packaging works
Title

Putting autumn in a 'you must' command catches growers just as they're winding down, and 'These Seeds' keeps the list for the video.

Thumbnail

Holding an open packet makes the seeds look ready to sow right now, while the blurred, cropped label keeps their name out of reach.

Remix this

When your advice goes against the season people think it belongs to, say it as an instruction with the season in it. Show the product up close, but blur or crop its label.
