"excuse myself"? I don't need an excuse for what I enjoy doing in my free time.

What you're missing is that I don't enjoy gardening, and I don't pretend that I'm saving significant sums of money by doing it. I do enjoy what I do in my free time, so I chose to enjoy myself, rather than spend my time doing what feels like work.

I'm not talking actual monetary costs, I'm talking the actual expenditure of time.

You enjoy gardening, and that's good for you. The time you spend growing your tomatoes isn't time taken away from an activity you enjoy.
Not everyone is in a place where spending time doing an activity they don't enjoy is worth avoiding paying for produce.

“Gardening can be fun and rewarding, but let’s not pretend that it just free food that appears by magic.”

Guess the italicized part threw me.

If you don’t enjoy it, you don’t, and that’s fine. My apologies for taking you so literally.
