Fired Up Tacos

It’s 20 degrees out and the Fired Up Taco Truck is slinging the best tacos in Cleveland. While it might be the recently unearthed Richard IIIs winter of discontent, I’m contented eating the best food around. The food shows feature food trucks from all over the country, but the weather always looks so nice. Weather in the Great Lakes is anything but nice in February.

soil and climate

Our yard is clay. Clay, clay and more clay. Clay all the way to the center of the earth. The people at the conservation district told us that " we're at the wrong end of the glacier". I nodded the nod of the intimidated and have repeated it ever since. We are true belivers in sweet peet and work in 15 yards every spring. Our back yard faces north and is a good 6 feet lower than the house. Most of the back yard is moist year round. Except for the north east corner, the yard is under shade or partial shade. The front yard is mainly sunny. We are in zone 5b.
