For dedicated gardeners, here are suggestions from the California Assn. of Nurserymen on what to do in the garden this week:

* Think spring! Plant annual bedding plants such as petunias, marigolds and lobelia for beautiful flower beds.

* Crabgrass and spotted spurge can be prevented with applications of a pre-emergence weed control and fertilizer.

* It’s a good time to transplant azaleas and camellias.

* Set out snail bait to protect newly planted seedlings. Renew if it rains.

* Before planting your flower beds, condition them with an addition of soil amendments and fertilizers.
