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

      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.

        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?

          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
