Look on the bright side OP
Now you can spend time educating yourself and building a better knowledge of (frankly) pretty basic BETTER know stuff... before you come out of the garden all wide eyed, half cocked and naive.
It's better IMO to LEARN from the sidelines then trying while actually playing IN-GAME... there is too much money and heartache at stake to wildly guess at it.
IMO it sounds like a blessing that you're gardening, now you can slow down and build a better foundation of knowledge vs just being out there guessing, before you learned something the hard way.
Wait till you learn about the different models used and the industry enhanced scores....you got plenty to keep you unbored while gardening😉 but you'll come out much better prepared.
Best of Luck
