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

* Lush, green houseplants start with a good, general purpose plant food applied monthly.

* Incorporate a less-thirsty ground cover along with your lawn.

* For lots of flowers this fall pinch back chrysanthemums of 12 inches in height this month.
