I'm the hobbyist, which I guess is fair enough!
Some people like model trains, some like knitting, some like sports... but you like gardening. You enjoy trying out new tools, making neat rows, or just growing one thing really, really well. It's not about food production so much, since you give away most of the extra. It's the sheer enjoyment of making things happen in the dirt that keeps you gardening.

Another hobbyist, and the last sentence is 100% accurate:-
Some people like model trains, some like knitting, some like sports... but you like gardening. You enjoy trying out new tools, making neat rows, or just growing one thing really, really well. It's not about food production so much, since you give away most of the extra. It's the sheer enjoyment of making things happen in the dirt that keeps you gardening.
I wish I could have given my own answers to some, though.
When you see an empty unkempt lot, you, feel sorry for it, for its owner, and imagine what you'd do with it.
You buy a new house. It was a foreclosure. The house needs paint, the roof has a leak and there are opportunistic shrubs, blackberry canes and a mix of invasive and native species trying to reclaim the yard. The first thing you do is: fix the roof, spending any spare time slowly clearing and saving the garden.
Someone tells you they just "aren't any good at gardening." You answer: "That's okay, we don't all have to like it. But you could probably do it if you really wanted to."
You get a citation notice on your front door, threatening you with a fine for having a messy yard. You decide to: Go back to the people issuing the fine and educate them on the value of 'mess' for nature, good health and biodiversity.
Favourite gardening book: John Harrison, vegetable growing month by month
Your preferred gardening outfit is: joggers, wellies, long-sleeve top, baseball cap and good gloves.
Your favourite plant is: Squash
At what time of day do you like to garden? Dawn!

I'm a Prepper, which kind of reads like I'm waiting for armageddon:
You have to garden because everything is about to collapse. Those who grow their own food will live. Those who don't will starve. You're bound and determined to be in the first category. You don't care all that much about the wacko environmental stuff, you're not really into a bunch of complicated systems or making things pretty. You need to see tangible results and learn solid methods that work in good times and in bad. Otherwise, we're all #$%$#$.
I blame the American lingo, must have made me focus on Dearest Donald.
