One of the best pieces of life advice I've seen was from Nigel. In the context of bonsai he said to grow a lot of trees. You prune the bonsai maybe once or twice a year and re-pot every 3 years or so. So maybe an hour of work a year for one tree: that's not a hobby :-) I've realised this is true for a lot of things. I used to worry that my home made cheese wouldn't turn out. But if it doesn't turn out well, I will need to make it again.... and cheese making is my hobby! What wondrous luck ;-) WRT the original question, it doesn't matter what you do. If you want it to be your hobby, then do a lot of it and have fun :-)
