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

* Encourage bushy growth and increased flower production on geraniums and fuchsias by pinching out tip growth regularly.

* For larger blooms from chrysanthemums this fall, dis-bud them now. Also stake and tie the plants to prevent drooping and breaking.

* Plant early flowering sweet peas for an abundance of flowers during the holidays.
