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.
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?

Grass is stupid, just get rid of it and it won’t matter if mowing it is gardening or not.
