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.

Dig In: Garden Checklist
For week of June 4:
Because of the comfortable weather, it’s not too late to set out tomato and pepper seedlings as well as squash and melon plants. They’ll appreciate this not-too-hot weather. Just remember to water.
* From seed, plant corn, pumpkins, radishes, melons, squash and sunflowers.
* Plant basil to go with your tomatoes.
* Transplant summer annuals such as petunias, marigolds and zinnias.
* It’s also a good time to transplant perennial flowers including astilbe, columbine, coneflowers, coreopsis, dahlias, rudbeckia, salvia and verbena.
* Let the grass grow longer. Set the mower blades high to reduce stress on your lawn during summer heat. To cut down on evaporation, water your lawn deeply during the wee hours of the morning, between 2 and 8 a.m.
* Tie up vines and stake tall plants such as gladiolus and lilies. That gives their heavy flowers some support.
* Dig and divide crowded bulbs after the tops have died down.
* Feed summer flowers with a slow-release fertilizer.
* Mulch, mulch, mulch! This “blanket” keeps moisture in the soil longer and helps your plants cope during hot weather.
* Thin grapes on the vine for bigger, better clusters later this summer.
* Cut back fruit-bearing canes on berries.
* Feed camellias, azaleas and other acid-loving plants.
* Trim off dead flowers from rose bushes to keep them blooming through the summer. Roses also benefit from deep watering and feeding now. A top dressing of aged compost will keep them happy. It feeds as well as keeps roots moist.
* Pinch back chrysanthemums for bushier plants with many more flowers in September.
