Get ready to get inspired (and maybe pick up some new gadgets). It’s home show season.

This week, the Original Sacramento Home & Garden Show returns for three days of exhibits, demonstrations and vendors. It’s a spring tradition that annually attracts thousands of Sacramento-area residents to Cal Expo.

The spring show opens Friday, March 15, and continues through Sunday, March 17, with scores of exhibitors and home show deals. The vendors will be located in Buildings A and B on the Cal Expo fairgrounds.

For more than 40 years, this Sacramento show has brought together homeowners looking for renovation help or ideas with local businesses that specialize in home and garden services or products.

“Everything you need to update and improve your home inside and out,” say the organizers. “Get show-only specials and all your questions answered by the experts. Window & doors, kitchens & bathrooms, pools & spas, outdoor kitchens & landscaping, pavers & turf, patio covers, HVAC & solar, whole-house fans & pest control, granite & stone, fencing & decking, roofing & gutters, flooring, cash & carry & more!”

This spring’s outdoor sections are anchored by The Garden, an inspirational oasis presented by SC Construction, and The Patio, a relaxed area for patrons to kick back and listen to live music (while contemplating projects). Next to The Garden will be a booth with local garden experts to answer questions about what plants might be right for your garden.

Show hours are noon to 5 p.m. Friday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m Saturday and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday.

General admission: $8; seniors (age 65 and up), $6; and active military and veterans, $6 (with military ID). Youths age 17 and younger admitted free with an adult. Parking: $10.

Cal Expo is located at 1600 Exposition Blvd., Sacramento.

Garden Checklist for week of Feb. 2

During this stormy week, let the rain soak in while making plans for all the things you’re going to plant soon:

* During rainy weather, turn off the sprinklers. After a good soaking from winter storms, lawns can go at least a week without sprinklers, according to irrigation experts. For an average California home, that week off from watering can save 800 gallons.

* February serves as a wake-up call to gardeners. This month, you can transplant or direct-seed several flowers, including snapdragon, candytuft, lilies, astilbe, larkspur, Shasta and painted daisies, stocks, bleeding heart and coral bells.

* In the vegetable garden, plant Jerusalem artichoke tubers, and strawberry and rhubarb roots.

* Transplant cabbage and its close cousins – broccoli, kale and Brussels sprouts – as well as lettuce (both loose leaf and head).

* Indoors, start peppers, tomatoes and eggplant from seed.

* Plant artichokes, asparagus and horseradish from root divisions.

* Plant potatoes from tubers and onions from sets (small bulbs). The onions will sprout quickly and can be used as green onions in March.

* From seed, plant beets, chard, lettuce, mustard, peas, radishes and turnips.

* Annuals are showing up in nurseries, but wait until the weather warms up a bit before planting. Instead, set out flowering perennials such as columbine and delphinium.

* Plant summer-flowering bulbs including cannas, calla lilies and gladiolus.
