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 Nov. 16
During breaks in the weather, tackle some garden tasks:
* Clear gutters and storm drains.
* Prune dead or broken branches from trees.
* After the storm, seed wildflowers and plant such spring bloomers as sweet pea, sweet alyssum and bachelor buttons.
* Set out cool-weather annuals such as pansies and snapdragons.
* Lettuce, cabbage and broccoli also can be planted now.
* Plant garlic and onions.
* Plant bulbs at two-week intervals to spread out your spring bloom. Some possible suggestions: daffodils, crocuses, hyacinths, tulips, anemones and scillas.
* Save dry stalks and seedpods from poppies and coneflowers for fall bouquets and holiday decorating.
* Rake and compost leaves, but dispose of any diseased plant material. For example, if peach and nectarine trees showed signs of leaf curl this year, clean up under trees and dispose of those leaves instead of composting them. Do leave some (healthy) leaves in the planting beds for wildlife and beneficial insect habitat.
* Give your azaleas, gardenias and camellias a boost with chelated iron.
* For larger blooms, pinch off some camellia buds.
