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

* Plant geraniums for Memorial Day. They are great hot weather lovers and available in white, pink, coral and red.

* Plant summer blooming shrubs now--hibiscus, glossy abelia, bush morning glory, lemon bottlebrush and lavender star flower.

* Beautiful chrysanthemums start with cuttings planted in your garden this month.

* Pinch petunias and fuchsias to keep plants compact through the summer. It also promotes more blooms.

* “Deadhead” all spent blossoms on annual flowers to promote continual blooms throughout the summer. Feed with a good flower food monthly to keep plants healthy and flower production high.
