Oh I've just seen your comment on MindoPod's blog. They've given you great advice. Products are indeed generally a better way to get coins unless you're farming quick crops such as corn (which can be sold at a relatively high price but not the max price) or soybean (can be sold at max price) endlessly. Depends on what suits you better, and maybe also on how many crates you have in your shop.

As for diamonds, well, that's a difficult question. At your level, I'd say make sure to check every farm you go to to find chests. You'll find those precious five diamonds eventually. You're in the period where the game plays on your patience: it maintains a tight balance between giving diamonds freely pretty regularly but not often enough that you're not tempted to buy them. :) And, unfortunately, players get diamonds far less often than they used to when they leveled up. But you're not very far away from the mine, which will give you one diamond every so often if you get what it needs regularly too, and from fishing, which is, by far, the easiest way to get the diamonds required to unlock a new slot on a machine. If you can make do with what you have and what you can do for now, then saving money for these (at least for fishing) might be an objective.
