I have a garden that I enjoy, but after years of trial I've learned to only plant hardy native plants and wild flowers because I have a black thumb for vegetables. My main issue is a lack of patience -- I don't want to go out to water everything or monitor if things are getting as much sunlight as I thought they would. But for the last couple years I'd been considering setting up a raspberry pi, some moisture sensors and some kind of drip system as a fun summer project to add on top of my flower garden, so that'd be a journey for me.

You just stated two contradictory things :).

> To each their own

I agree. Some people might just want to be in control of where there food comes from.

> but small gardens like this are about the journey, not the destination

Again, to each their own. Also, coding a robot to automate gardening is a journey as well.

Building a garden robot and eating robo-spinach sounds like a super dank journey to me

I couldn’t agree more.
