New Roseville nursery will host pets to meet and greet (and take home)
Rescue is Archie's favorite breed. A former shelter dog, he already has his "fur-ever" home, but there will be other dogs available at the new Roseville Green Acres site this Saturday from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. Kathy Morrison
Looking for a new best friend? You may be able to find the perfect fur baby at this special event, hosted by Green Acres Nursery & Supply.
On Saturday morning, Dec. 10, Green Acres will offer “Dog Days Adoptions” from 9 to 11 a.m. at its new Roseville location, 7300 Galilee Road, Roseville.
“Stop by, connect with local animal shelters, and adopt a loving friend,” say the organizers. “Green Acres Nursery & Supply will donate $100 toward adoption fees on the day of the event. The event is free and open to the public.”
Besides finding the pup of your dreams, it’s a great opportunity to check out the new nursery, which is in the midst of a “soft” opening. Green Acres offers a huge selection of holiday plants and trees – including some living Christmas evergreens that can be replanted in your landscape.

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.
