Indeed I can imagine you must get a lot of feelings of fulfillment and achievement growing your piglets and string beans! 😅
The simple things in life should not be overlooked for the flashy or convenience based things, because nature has more beauty and fulfillment in store for us than anything in the artificial world.

Honest, not really sure about the pros and cons of it but you're awesome with 15 years of dedication.

I could probably write a book about the pros and cons both lol.
For me, cultivation didn't start until a few years ago, despite having read lots of stuff online to prepare over the years, and was something I started while trying to escape the grips of hardcore addiction to alcohol and cocaine.
The pros are pretty immense because it's helped me stay clean and sober, but now I'm just a hardcore weed addict instead 😂

Thanks for the kind words @jellyvine <3
