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

* If you have a warm, sunny corner in your garden that’s bare, consider planting a gardenia shrub or two. Their lovely, fragrant white flowers add their scent to the garden and indoors when cut to fill vases.

* Mulching in flower beds around shrubs and annuals and in the vegetable garden will help conserve soil moisture and reduce the weeds.
