As someone who cooked for a living, home cooking is fun! It’s like making art, but you get to eat the art! And gardening isn’t mowing a lawn, my plants are well kept and the process of seeing the effect of small changes you make to placement, water schedule, additives is like having a pet :)
If you cook, you cook for a purpose, you don’t throw food away just because you’ve cooked for the sake of cooking, you eat it, or serve it to someone else to eat. In the end it’s a chore fulfilled still.
And lawn mowing is a part of gardening, just as pruning flowers and dealing with seedlings is. Sincerely, what do you think gardening is? Vegetables and fruit trees? No, as a hobby and chore it’s so much more than that. If you own a garden you want it to be presentable in at least some capacity, that requires taking care of it by planting bushes, trimming them, dealing with pests, seeding new grass if a heatwave destroyed it, etc.
Wait, you’re American aren’t you? FYI, in other countries people who own a house have more than a lawn, because only having a lawn is considered weird af. But taking care of that lawn is still considered a part of gardening, and mowing is part of that.
Also baking isn’t cooking, they are two different things. Baking is a lot more chemistry than cooking is
Grass is a part of gardens??? Where do you live that your garden has no lawn/grass in it??? If you own a house the area around it is called a garden, and taking care of it is called gardening, what kind of house are you used to???
In America gardens are typically the tilled soil where one grows fruits, herbs, vegetables, and/or flowers. The grass is the lawn. Most houses have lawns, not everyone has the time, knowledge, or interest to have a garden.
Grass is not stupid! The way we work it is however quite stupid. There are beautiful and resilient types of grasses which are fun to grow. They also have a rich history, read otherlands if you like to go through the ages of flora and fauna
Sorry, the short green stuff that’s an invasive species that everyone in America spends millions and millions of dollars to grow, wasting water and filling our habitat with harmful pesticides and fertilizers. Native grasses are dope, but very few people grow them.
I love how some of those hobbies are literally just chores but fun
What kind of chores are you doing? Going out to the barn and shoeing the horses?
You never cooked before? Or mowed the law?

Hobby cooking and cooking to survive are very different things. Also, are you under the impression that gardening and lawn mowing are the same?

I’ve never seen anyone mow a garden.
And people cook for others and don’t always eat what they cook. Like giving people cookies as a gift.
Has no one ever given you cookies?

What the fuck are you even talking about now? What is a book full of baking recipes called? Hint: not a “baking book.”
It’s not a cookbook either
Grass is stupid, just get rid of it and it won’t matter if mowing it is gardening or not.
I just don’t understand why they think people mow gardens.

Living in Canada. Very few of the gardens in my neighbourhood have grass. It’s not as uncommon as you think.

All my hobbies are chores I choose to do. 😔
