Description: David Blaska, going out of his way to provoke progressives in Madison WI to make America safe for democracy!
Hope you don’t think less of the Head Groundskeeper (if that were possible) when we tell you that the indentured servants at Stately Blaska Manor save their pizza delivery boxes . Can’t waste good cardboard like that! Turns out they were just the right size of the latest project on the Experimental Work Farm (and Penal Colony).
We’re enamored of stands of naturalized, native perennials. We swing more along the lines of Capability Brown than Louis Quattorze’s formalized gardens at Versailles. The monarda (aka bee balm), for instance, has established itself nicely here and there. It goes where it wants outside the vegetable garden and where there is no lawn — which keeps shrinking every year.
Last August, decided to establish a stand of echinacea purpurea (aka coneflower). We love the drooping nature of the petals and the earth hues — predominantly a dusky purple but also burnt orange, rusty red, yellow, and white. Hold their petals longer than many perennials and their burly seed heads remain throughout the winter. And rabbits don’t like them!
