When you "own" you still have to pay yearly or they take it away from you. And you need permission to knock down a wall, or grow a tree, or put up a swingset. And they can just take the whole thing from you under imminent domain laws. And so on. Really, nowadays you never own land. It sucks! Renting comes with its own problems. I've owned and I've rented and I've even rented places out to others. This is a rough market right now for renters!
Flipping at Midsummer is awesome! Our pagan/druid ancestors would be proud :) That's the way Nature does it. Every landrace outdoor plant on Earth is "flipped" at solstice! Very cool to do your indoor plants that service. Respect!
