&gt; The only thing I can think of is that in this day and age of everything being simplified to a few mouse clicks or screen taps, everything else becomes a monumental chore by comparison.<p>Or that now you know what the tradeoffs are and that there is a whole set of things you don&#x27;t know you don&#x27;t know! My teen self would have rather built the raised garden bed than used it, so he wouldn&#x27;t have planned for long term effects (will this weather all seasons well? will these railroad ties leech into the soil and kill me via my veggies? etc)
