    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.
