Got projects on your to-do list? Or a lot of home and garden questions? Find folks who get things done – and have plenty of answers – at a Sacramento tradition: the original Sacramento Home & Garden Show.
For three days, Oct. 11-13, this huge fall show fills the Pavilion building at Cal Expo. Scores of vendors offer their latest home and garden products as well as skills.
“Renovating and upgrading your home can be a stressful process if you don’t have the right team to help,” say the organizers. “For over 40 years, the Sacramento Home & Garden Show has been helping homeowners find the resources, savings, and professionals to get the job done right!
“Meet and learn from top local experts in a casual, comfortable, no-pressure environment. You’ll see the newest in landscaping, gardening, patios, fencing, decks, heating and air, solar, insulation, remodeling, new construction, plumbing, kitchens, baths, closets, home furnishings, appliances, lighting, roofing, painting, gutters, home security, windows, doors, siding, tile, stone, granite, BBQs, pools, spas and more!”
That’s quite a list! Pick up a copy of the show’s “Homeowner’s Toolkit” with worksheets, checklists, tips and more on how to tackle any home or landscape renovation project.
Also, shop for plants and garden needs. Find your perfect landscape style.
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. Park in Lot D (near the racetrack grandstand) and enter the Blue Gate.

Garden Checklist for week of April 13
Enjoy this spring weather – and get to work! Your garden needs you!
* Start setting out tomato, pepper and eggplant transplants.
* From seed, plant beans, beets, cantaloupes, carrots, corn, cucumbers, melons, radishes, and winter and summer squash.
* Plant onion sets.
* In the flower garden, plant seeds for asters, cosmos, celosia, marigolds, salvia, sunflowers and zinnias.
* Transplant petunias, zinnias, geraniums and other summer bloomers.
* Plant perennials and dahlia tubers for summer bloom.
* Plant summer bulbs, such as gladiolus and tuberous begonias.
* Smell orange blossoms? Feed citrus trees with a low dose of balanced fertilizer (such as 10-10-10) during bloom to help set fruit. Keep an eye out for ants.
* Apply slow-release fertilizer to the lawn.
* Thoroughly clean debris from the bottom of outdoor ponds or fountains.
* Trim dead flowers but not leaves from spring-flowering bulbs such as daffodils and tulips. Those leaves gather energy to create next year's flowers. Also, give the bulbs a fertilizer boost after bloom.
* Weed, weed, weed! Don’t let unwanted plants go to seed.
