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 Nov. 3
November still offers good weather for fall planting:
* If you haven't already, it's time to clean up the remains of summer. Pull faded annuals and vegetables. Prune dead or broken branches from trees.
* Now is the best time to plant most trees and shrubs. This gives them plenty of time for root development before spring growth. They also benefit from fall and winter rains.
* Set out cool-weather annuals such as pansies and snapdragons.
* Lettuce, cabbage and broccoli also can be planted now.
* Plant garlic and onions.
* Keep planting bulbs to spread out your spring bloom. Some possible suggestions: daffodils, crocuses, hyacinths, tulips, anemones and scillas.
* This is also a good time to seed wildflowers and plant such spring bloomers as sweet pea, sweet alyssum and bachelor buttons.
* 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.
* Save dry stalks and seedpods from poppies and coneflowers for fall bouquets and holiday decorating.
* For holiday blooms indoors, plant paperwhite narcissus bulbs now. Fill a shallow bowl or dish with 2 inches of rocks or pebbles. Place bulbs in the dish with the root end nestled in the rocks. Add water until it just touches the bottom of the bulbs. Place the dish in a sunny window. Add water as needed.
* Give your azaleas, gardenias and camellias a boost with chelated iron.
* For larger blooms, pinch off some camellia buds.
* Prune non-flowering trees and shrubs while dormant.
* To help prevent leaf curl, apply a copper fungicide spray to peach and nectarine trees after they lose their leaves this month. Leaf curl, which shows up in the spring, is caused by a fungus that winters as spores on the limbs and around the tree in fallen leaves. Sprays are most effective now.
