Hi, guys!In last week’s newsletter, I wrote about the hows and whys of deadheading (you can read it here if you missed it), and this week, I covered the somewhat adjacent Chelsea Chop in my AP column. It’s an old perennial pruning strategy (with a new-ish name) that produces stockier, sturdier plants and prolongs bloom times. The Weekly Dirt with Jessica Damiano is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.

What’s the deal with the Chelsea Chop? Are you gardeners familiar with it? After hearing about it recently, I did a bit of research. The earliest reference I could find dates back to the early 2000s, so it might appear I’m late to the party, but I’m not — and you might not be, either.

OYSTER BAY, N.Y. — Some places seem to communicate with you when you visit. Not audibly, of course, but they somehow impart the echo of a life lived long ago. That's the feeling I get at Planting Fields Arboretum State Historic Park. The 409-acre remnant of Long Island's grand Gold Coast is one of the region's last surviving estates with its original acreage intact, which is remarkable when you consider how many of its cohorts have been divided up into housing developments or golf courses.

HOMESTYLEJESSICA DAMIANOAssociated PressView Comments For many, the return of the spring garden brings with it a sneezy, itchy, foggy-headed feeling that hits the moment a warm breeze stirs up. I'm fortunate not to suffer much, but my blue car turned a chartreuse shade of yellow last week, and a $32 car wash provided results that lasted only two hours. Sigh. These seasonal allergies often go by the old-fashioned name hay fever, but it's not the hay that causes misery for so many, it's the pollen.
