Fall is for planting – and for plant sales, too!
Branching out from its specialty, the Sacramento Perennial Plant Club will offer a lot more than perennials at a special “pop-up sale” on Saturday, Sept. 25.
To be held at 4440 G St., Sacramento , the sale will feature many kinds of plants, all propagated by club members.
“Plant club members have propagated a varied array of herbs, succulents, perennials, winter vegetables, and even a few trees for your fall gardening pleasure,” says member Linda Hax.
Sale hours will be 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday . Bring cash or check.
Club members will be on hand to help with planting suggestions and offer advice. Bring a box or other carrier to transport your sale discoveries back home.
Due to pandemic restrictions, patrons are asked to wear face masks while shopping.

Garden Checklist for week of May 5
Survey your garden after the May 4 rainstorm. Heavy rain and gusty winds can break the neck of large flowers such as roses. Also:
* Keep an eye on new transplants or seedlings; they could take a pounding from the rain.
* Watch out for powdery mildew. Warmth following moist conditions can cause this fungal disease to “bloom,” too. If you see a leaf that looks like it’s dusted with powdered sugar, snip it off.
* After the storm, start setting out tomato transplants, but wait on the peppers and eggplants (they want warmer nights). Pinch off any flowers on new transplants to make them concentrate on establishing roots instead of setting premature fruit.
* 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.
* Pinch chrysanthemums back to 12 inches for fall flowers. Cut old stems to the ground.
* Mulch around plants to conserve moisture and control weeds.
* From seed, plant beans, beets, cantaloupes, carrots, corn, cucumbers, melons, pumpkins, radishes and 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.
* Don’t wait; plant summer bulbs, such as gladiolus and tuberous begonias.
* Harvest cabbage, lettuce, peas and green onions.
