What can you do on a rainy day at a nursery? Maybe find a new best friend.
On Saturday, Feb. 25, Green Acres Nursery & Supply hosts another of its “Dog Days” adoption events, this time at its Rocklin location.
“Stop by, connect with local animal shelters, and adopt a loving friend,” say the organizers. “Adopt a pet on event day and receive a $50 Green Acres Nursery & Supply gift card. Use it to create a pet-friendly spot in the garden, or to buy from (Green Acres’) new line of pet supplies.”
Local animal service agencies will bring several adoptable dogs to meet and greet patrons. The canines will be available from 9 to 11 a.m. Saturday. The event is free and open to the public; no advance registration necessary.
Green Acres is located at 5436 Crossings Drive in Rocklin.
With the motto “Rescue is our favorite breed,” Green Acres has made Dogs Days a year-round event with adoption events rotating through its seven locations. Check the Green Acres website after March 1 for upcoming Dog Days.

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.
