Wambulance Nance and the Concussion Cart

The Concussion Cart

Ma here. A few years ago, Pa spotted this cart in the road ditch on a trip into the city. We determined if it was still there when we drove back by it would be ours. Well, it was, and it got dropped on my head loading it into ole Blue, earning it it’s name.

The Wadulisi Girls Arrival

We are so stoked to have them. Jujube, apple, pear, plum, blackberry, raspberry, blueberry, grapes, muscadine, mexican plum, hackberry, honey locust, black locust, fruiting dogwoods, autumn olive, Hanson’s bush cherry, hardy kiwi, persimmon, chokecherry, currants, mimosa and hawthorn are just the tree and shrub species that will be available to them. I would venture to guess there isn’t another place with this kind of diversity anywhere near here and it ought to make for some seriously interesting honey.

Thank you again Mr and Mrs Wadulisi for letting them stay with us.

Well, that’s about all I got, take it easy.

Roundup For A Sustainable Future.

Ma And A Little Roundup.

Last Thursday the latest addition to the OKA herd made her grand entrance.  Some of you who have been around or know us personally already know that Ma and I have a rather weird sense of humor.  

Rooter Pot Update and Other Things Goin On.

New Nursery Area.

Other Peoples Trash

Conetainers Planted full of tree seeds.

I made friends with a guy from down under, a fellow permie and an aficionado of all things nitrogen-fixer.  We’ve made a couple trades and this go round I ended up with some varieties that are going to be questionable at best for the climate here on the farm.  

Projects, Rentals, Uncles and More

Ma here. Meet the Rentals! Who are the Rentals you ask? Well, of course, the Rentals are parents, the paRental types… Here specifically are my Rentals. They flew all the way from sunny Florida to visit Off-Kilter Acres.

Chicken Tractor – Check!

Ma here. On the OKA, we seem to always have a long list of things to try to accomplish. Between planting, tending, building and whatever else, our list seems it will never be complete. As soon as we finish a project, there is always at least one or more added to the list, this all  in addition to our daily chores.

Turkey Poults, Chicks, Repurposing and More

Ma here, I’m about a week late with this post. We sure have a lot goin on here on Off-Kilter Acres, so I hope you will forgive me.  Everyone meet TG – our lone turkey.

Meet Enloe

Ma here. I’d like to introduce Enloe, 11 weeks old, 20 pounds of loving puppy sweetness. His mom is a Catahoula mix and dad is full blood Great Pyrenees. Enloe is the newest addition to Off-Kilter Acres. Were we planning on another dog?

Broken Promises

Ma here, I promised myself again and again that this year I was not, I repeat NOT getting any new baby chicks. I’ve been repeating no. no. no in my mind for months now. So why do you see a baby chick sitting in my hand?
