Being 50% present in any aspect of my life just doesn't seem enough to me; clearly you get it.
Your garden is looking and sounding like it deserves and thrives on your affections.
My garden, and other things. Lol.
It's interesting about those fruit and nut trees, and I've heard similar before.
I visited a dairy in Italy called Hombre where they make parmesan (even for the Vatican) and they cows get played classical music all the time. They say it makes the milk better.

I went there for this, which is also located at the farm.

Now...rogue chickens...I'm not sure what music they like, but don't play any heavy metal, it sends them bonkers. (Don't ask how I know.)
Here in the Cape there's a boutique farm that have water buffalo and make speciality cheese. The boutique part is that at milking the water buffalo have 3 choices. Either milk. Or massage. Or classical music. I better not let my rogue chickens get wind of the stories or they may start putting in their demands
If you think those chickens are rogue now, just wait until they realise they're not getting massages!
🤣
