Rancho de la Libertad

Finally finished this month's newsletter! One of our Quarterly Updates, a moment of reflection aligned with the post-Solstice new moon.

We are at a critical moment! If you can spare a few dollars a month, it would make an enormous difference if you subscribed at the paid tier. As a bonus you'll get goodies around Winter Solstice. We make zero profit, anything material/financial support just goes back into the land. If there's anything we can do to bring you more value, let us know.

@rancholibertad nice update. I very much relate to summer as a hibernation period living in the Gulf South (Louisiana & Florida). Outdoor activity is mostly confined to early morning & evening. It becomes slower and quieter as all of the tourists leave the heat, humidity & hurricanes to return to their more temperate homes. Locals may also take a break from gardening because it’s tough to grow conventional items during this time of year.

@PermaSolarPotter I love hearing that there are others experiencing this kind of pause outside of the Southwest US! I can imagine the heat is so different there - do you find you just get used to the humidity?

And with gardening - yes, even with more water the heat gets to a lot of plants I'd imagine. Do you have a good Fall growing season when things cool, or does winter get too cold to enable that?
