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 Sept. 15
Make the most of the cool break this week – and get things done. Your garden needs you!
* Now is the time to plant for fall. The warm soil will get cool-season veggies off to a fast start.
* Keep harvesting tomatoes, peppers, squash, melons and eggplant.
* Compost annuals and vegetable crops that have finished producing.
* Cultivate and add compost to the soil to replenish its nutrients for fall and winter vegetables and flowers.
* Fertilize deciduous fruit trees.
* Plant onions, lettuce, peas, radishes, turnips, beets, carrots, bok choy, spinach and potatoes directly into the vegetable beds.
* Transplant cabbage, broccoli, kale, Brussels sprouts and cauliflower as well as lettuce seedlings.
* Sow seeds of California poppies, clarkia and African daisies.
* Transplant cool-weather annuals such as pansies, violas, fairy primroses, calendulas, stocks and snapdragons.
* Divide and replant bulbs, rhizomes and perennials.
* Dig up and divide daylilies as they complete their bloom cycle.
* Divide and transplant peonies that have become overcrowded. Replant with "eyes" about an inch below the soil surface.
* Late September is ideal for sowing a new lawn or re-seeding bare spots.
