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 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.
