OT: What stupid things do you enjoy as you got older?

[Jim14510]

I probably over plant it if I'm being honest...

I have 3 4x6 beds.

1 will be peppers. Probably 28ish in that one.

1 will be the tomatoes. Gets crowded and probably over planted.

1 will be the rest of the peppers and usually a cucumber/zucchini plant

That's impressive.

I always overcrowd hostas. I used to really plan it out when I put beds in but then I'd plant more in the holes because they're not fully grown or it was spring and they hadn't fully spread out. Now I pretty much throw them whereever I can find a spot and worry about moving them around later.

Yeah I'm gonna put in a bed of hostas... It is one of 500 things I'm currently trying to get done around the house

My wife makes me plant other stuff now too. Last yard ended up 98% hostas.

There's some really cool Japanese grasses. Mix those in. I like to mix some Iris randomly too. They don't bloom as well as full sun but the hostas kind of hide the plant so I don't really care how ugly the leaves get.

I loved fishing when I was a kid. Around the age of 15 I stopped doing it and rarely thought about it. I'm 38 now but somewhere around 32 or 33 it got in my head to start fishing again. I got really into it and go whenever I can. Which is hard to do with a 3 year old.

Around the same time I got back into fishing a got into disc golf. I don't play very often but I enjoy it. I'd rather fish than play disc golf though.

I also don't know if this counts but in the last few years I've started really enjoying Bob Seger's music.

This thread reminds me how awful the off season is. Sad boner emoji.

Feeding the squirrels, bird watching, yard work, polishing off the old Land Rover on summer weekends for a spin.

It’s wild how much one starts to relate to Bob Seger’s music once they hit their mid-30s

I really enjoy a well watered, freshly cut yard with straight lines edged or trimmed. Couldn’t say that 5 years ago

 

[HuskerPAC]

I feed my birds all winter. I’m 33 years old.

Cooking shows. Pedicures.

God damnit, now I’m almost 35.

I really enjoy hosing down the driveway and waving to neighbors as they drive/walk by.
It's one of my true old-man joys.
