There’s only one more week of winter – which means it’s time to “Dig Into Spring.”
On Saturday, March 18, at its new Roseville location, Green Acres Nursery & Supply will host its annual “Ideas Fair,” packed with inspiration for the season ahead. Admission and parking are free.
“Join us for our annual Dig Into Spring Ideas Fair,” says Green Acres. “Be inspired by garden displays, and attend Garden Talks from our knowledgeable experts. In addition, many of our product vendors will be on-site to provide helpful tips related to healthy soil, plants, outdoor living and more.”
Also see barbecue demonstrations and other hands-on opportunities. And of course, there’s a big sale.
“We’ll also have event-day Hot Buys on products to get you started for spring planting,” adds Green Acres. “Don't miss giveaways throughout the day.”
Green Acres’ top experts will be on hand to offer advice and answer garden questions. Get recommendations about new varieties and what to plant when.
Opened late in 2022, the new Roseville nursery is something to see, too. It features: a 14,000-square-foot greenhouse for annuals and perennials; a 5,600-square-foot greenhouse for houseplants; nearly 7,000 square feet for shade plants in a lathhouse; expanded indoor space with 21,000 square feet for irrigation, landscape supplies, décor and more; an outdoor living department with patio furniture, grills and accessories; plus acres of outdoor space for trees and shrubs.
Green Acres is located at 7300 Galilee Road in Roseville. Store hours are 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Saturday; Dig Into Spring events will be held from 8 a.m to 4 pm.

Garden Checklist for week of July 21
Your garden needs you!
* Keep your vegetable garden watered, mulched and weeded. Water before 8 a.m. to reduce the chance of fungal infection and to conserve moisture.
* Feed vegetable plants bone meal, rock phosphate or other fertilizers high in phosphate to stimulate more blooms and fruiting. (But wait until daily high temperatures drop out of the 100s.)
* Don’t let tomatoes wilt or dry out completely. Give tomatoes a deep watering two to three times a week.
* Harvest vegetables promptly to encourage plants to produce more. Squash especially tends to grow rapidly in hot weather. Keep an eye on zucchini.
* Pinch back chrysanthemums for bushy plants and more flowers in September.
* Remove spent flowers from roses, daylilies and other bloomers as they finish flowering.
* Pinch off blooms from basil so the plant will grow more leaves.
* Cut back lavender after flowering to promote a second bloom.
* It's not too late to add a splash of color. Plant petunias, snapdragons, zinnias and marigolds.
* From seed, plant corn, pumpkins, radishes, winter squash and sunflowers.
