Thanks for the tips.

On gardening, same advice would apply: choosing low maintenance, well fitted with the climate or “tough” species is underrated.

Going only for the visual aspect will easily make gardening a second job. Except it’s an actual living thing, and it’s more pressure than the bullshit deadline we have on our projects.

Ayy, that's fair. The prior owners set things up very nicely, so between that and other things, most of my gardening is "optional", which makes it very very nice; and many of the plants are forgiving / masochists (vines and roses).

Step 1: Learn how to trim new plant (holy crap they're algorithmic fractals!). Step 2: Start trimming new plant. Step 3: Go stare at newly-prior plant a few minutes a day, see how it's doing. 10/10 would recommend.
