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

* Check brown spots in lawns for sodweb worms and grubs.

* If the foliage is dry and yellowed on spring blooming bulbs, be sure to cut it off. Divide and replant any crowded clumps of bulbs for better bloom next year.

* Plant garden mums now for a blaze of color this fall.

* Feed tuberous begonias and fuchsias with 0-10-10 fertilizer.

* Divide and transplant bearded iris.
