Fall is for planting – and for plant sales, too!
Branching out from its specialty, the Sacramento Perennial Plant Club will offer a lot more than perennials at a special “pop-up sale” on Saturday, Sept. 25.
To be held at 4440 G St., Sacramento , the sale will feature many kinds of plants, all propagated by club members.
“Plant club members have propagated a varied array of herbs, succulents, perennials, winter vegetables, and even a few trees for your fall gardening pleasure,” says member Linda Hax.
Sale hours will be 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday . Bring cash or check.
Club members will be on hand to help with planting suggestions and offer advice. Bring a box or other carrier to transport your sale discoveries back home.
Due to pandemic restrictions, patrons are asked to wear face masks while shopping.

Garden Checklist for week of July 21
Your garden needs you!
* Keep your vegetable garden watered, mulched and weeded. Water before 8 a.m. to reduce the chance of fungal infection and to conserve moisture.
* Feed vegetable plants bone meal, rock phosphate or other fertilizers high in phosphate to stimulate more blooms and fruiting. (But wait until daily high temperatures drop out of the 100s.)
* Don’t let tomatoes wilt or dry out completely. Give tomatoes a deep watering two to three times a week.
* Harvest vegetables promptly to encourage plants to produce more. Squash especially tends to grow rapidly in hot weather. Keep an eye on zucchini.
* Pinch back chrysanthemums for bushy plants and more flowers in September.
* Remove spent flowers from roses, daylilies and other bloomers as they finish flowering.
* Pinch off blooms from basil so the plant will grow more leaves.
* Cut back lavender after flowering to promote a second bloom.
* It's not too late to add a splash of color. Plant petunias, snapdragons, zinnias and marigolds.
* From seed, plant corn, pumpkins, radishes, winter squash and sunflowers.
