During January, outdoor furniture may not be top of mind (but a firepit sure sounds cozy). Which makes this weekend prime time for a winter clearance sale.

On Saturday and Sunday, Jan. 10 and 11, Green Acres Nursery & Supply is hosting its huge Winter Clearance at five of its locations: Citrus Heights, Elk Grove, Folsom, Rocklin and Roseville.

Discounts up to 70% will be available on many of the items that pack those Green Acres showrooms, in order to make room for 2026 releases. Customers will find all sorts of outdoor furnishings on sale as well as accessories to create their own ultimate garden living spaces.

“This is your chance to score big savings on outdoor living favorites,” says Green Acres staff. “We are clearing out floor models, discontinued collections, and scratch and dent finds including furniture, rugs, pillows and firepits at all five of our Outdoor Living locations.”

There are some restrictions: “Inventory varies by location, so early arrival is strongly recommended. All items must be taken home at the time of purchase. Delivery is not available and all sales are final.”

Sale hours are 10 a.m to 4 p.m. each day.

Participating Green Acres locations are:

* 6128 San Juan Ave., Citrus Heights;

* 9220 E. Stockton Blvd., Elk Grove;

Garden checklist for week of July 19

Remember to water early and deeply; your garden depends on you.

* 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.

* Keep your vegetable garden watered, mulched and weeded. Water before 8 a.m. to reduce the chance of fungal infection and to conserve moisture.

* Water, then fertilize vegetables and blooming annuals, perennials and shrubs to give them a boost.

*Fertilizing flowering plants every other week will extend their bloom. Give vegetable plants bone meal or other fertilizers high in phosphate to stimulate more blooms and fruiting.

* 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.

* If your melons and squash aren’t setting fruit, give the bees a hand. With a small, soft paintbrush, gather some pollen from male flowers, then brush it inside the female flowers, which have a tiny swelling at the base of their petals. (That's the embryo melon or squash.) Within days, that little swelling should start growing.

* 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. New leaves have the best flavor.

* Cut back lavender after flowering to promote a second bloom.
