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 May 4

Enjoy this spring weather – and get gardening!

* Plant, plant, plant! It’s prime planting season in the Sacramento area. Time to set out those tomato transplants along with peppers and eggplants. Pinch off any flowers on new transplants to make them concentrate on establishing roots instead of setting premature fruit.

* Direct-seed melons, cucumbers, summer squash, corn, radishes, pumpkins and annual herbs such as basil.

* Harvest cabbage, lettuce, peas and green onions.

* In the flower garden, direct-seed sunflowers, cosmos, salvia, zinnias, marigolds, celosia and asters. (You also can transplant seedlings for many of the same flowers.)

* Plant dahlia tubers. Other perennials to set out include verbena, coreopsis, coneflower and astilbe.

* Transplant petunias, marigolds and perennial flowers such as astilbe, columbine, coneflowers, coreopsis, dahlias, rudbeckia and verbena.

* Keep an eye out for slugs, snails, earwigs and aphids that want to dine on tender new growth.

* Feed summer bloomers with a balanced fertilizer.

* For continued bloom, cut off spent flowers on roses as well as other flowering plants.

* Add mulch to the garden to maintain moisture. Mulch also cuts down on weeds. But don’t let it mound around the stems or trunks of trees or shrubs. Leave about a 6-inch to 1-foot circle to avoid crown rot or other problems.
