    Grass is stupid, just get rid of it and it won’t matter if mowing it is gardening or not.

      I just don’t understand why they think people mow gardens.

        Grass is a part of gardens??? Where do you live that your garden has no lawn/grass in it??? If you own a house the area around it is called a garden, and taking care of it is called gardening, what kind of house are you used to???

          In America gardens are typically the tilled soil where one grows fruits, herbs, vegetables, and/or flowers. The grass is the lawn. Most houses have lawns, not everyone has the time, knowledge, or interest to have a garden.

            I sort of assumed at one point that squid is American, kind of weird that taking care of one specific type of plant is somehow not considered gardening in america

              Nah, squid live in the ocean, America is on land. Not sure what that has to do with grass, but whatever, now you know!

          Living in Canada. Very few of the gardens in my neighbourhood have grass. It’s not as uncommon as you think.

            “I have to go mow the garden.”

            – Literally no one.

            But lawn mowing would be taking care of the garden if it had grass in it, and would be gardening by extension, that was the crux of the argument.

      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

        Sorry, I was referring to the short green stuff that’s an invasive species that everyone in America spends millions and millions of dollars to grow, wasting water and filling our habitat with harmful pesticides and fertilizers. Native grasses are dope, but very few people grow them.
