It's bullshit. I adore my kids and don't seek out ways to "escape" from them. I garden because I enjoy the feeling of success that comes as a direct result of my physical labor, I like fresh vegetables, and I like it when I catch my neighbors checking out my flower beds.
100% this. I garden with my son. He kisses the tomatoes to help them grow. I love cooking and the satisfaction of cooking a meal with veggies from your garden is hard to describe. Also, I love hot peppers and make hot sauce now. I’m sure there’s some leftover hunter/gatherer stuff happening here. I’m taking a master gardener class this fall and am real excited about it.
