Comment on Yeah I see you...
Kuma@lemmy.world 17 hours agoI know you are joking but I wanted to add that a hobby isn’t a hobby if you earn money (that is a job) because the real reason you do it, is because of brain stimulation or even meditation, I think going out with friends is also a hobby (less structured), and alcohol is never a net plus but we do not think we need to earn money when we go out it is the happiness it brings we pay for.

More justifying it because I spend less money now on seeds than I would have on the food produced from it later. Food quality is also quite an important one and makes the effective value of the produce far higher too. Its not making money directly, but saving money.
Although the best value would then would be my foraging. Got a bag of plums in the freezer that I picked recently and plan to make a fruit mead with.

Yes i read your comment as such so it wasn’t aimed at you, it was aimed in general at any one who feel ashamed for spending money on a hobby.
I think everyone needs one and it is great when you really found that one hobby that makes you happy. Sounds like you found yours and i am happy for you!
Gardening is really nice especially the feeling you get when you eat your own grown food. I tried growing mushrooms for the first time, it was the tastiest mushrooms I have eaten, and it was definitely mostly because I had cared for them for a month haha
I can recommended it if you like mushrooms, grey oyster mushroom is really easy, forgiving and grows fast.
