Oh definitely, but far more physically than mentally when you start getting used to the country life. The good thing is that work comes in sprints with spring being the hardest by far.
I've been pretty much only trimming for days just to get everything under control and I'm still not done. And in like 2-3 weeks I'll need to do it all over again because you can practically see the grass and weeds growing. When it gets hotter and drier, the growth slows down significantly and it's more manageable. It's the same with crops, you break your back in spring and work hard in autumn, but summer and winter are pretty chill. Those sprints make it easier to get used to because you're not doing the same things day in and day out.
There's a surprising amount of overlap between programming and farming. Research, diagnosing, solving issues, refactoring, etc. And it definitely favours a DIY mindset for fixing and making things. For example I'm planning on building an automated watering system with microcontrollers because I could make it for a fraction of the price of a commercial product.
Organic is not that much more difficult if you're only growing for yourself. But being good to nature definitely makes everything harder. Like we could use chemicals to kill everything except grass, but leaving native plants is good for the ecosystem while making trimming far harder.
