I dunno, when I was a teenager and doing yard work at my family home was a chore, I hated it ... but at my own home I love it. I get to be outside, it's good exercise, and at the end of the job I can look at it with satisfaction.

The problem with garden maintenance is that it drews time and energy away from productive activities, such as harvest maintenance. The only thing satisfying about it is you can look at the fixed yard and thinkdarlings are gonna love it when I bring them here tomorrow."

I have to assume you're using the east-of-the-atlantic definition of "garden".
Or in other words, what we call "the yard" here. When we say "garden" we are referring to a portion of the property that has been planted with fruits and vegetables for human consumption.

Well, I guess that from a horse point of view, a raw yard is a rich place full of edible stuff, so that would count as a garden too XD
