That’s set off some thoughts in my head!
For me, I think the biggest draw is cooking and eating the food which I have grown, and being as self-reliant as possible.
If money were no object and I never had to go to work again, I would probably spend most of my time growing, rearing and coppicing, interspersed with long walks, music and crafts.
However, if I couldn’t eat, it would seem quite pointless growing veg or raising chickens. I would still enjoy getting sunlight and fresh air, but I might have to ask to move plots every year as I think I would get more pleasure from the achievement of clearing a plot than from growing veg I couldn’t eat... Alternatively I might take to growing either flowers or XL/competition veg instead.
