• Rake leaves and make leaf mold or compost.
• Clean, sharpen, and oil garden tools.
• Start forcing bulbs like paperwhites, hyacinth and amaryllis for the holidays.
• Add organic matter to beds.
• Cover compost so that rain doesn't flood and leach the nutrients.
• Keep weeding.
• There is still time to plant a cover crop in the vegetable garden.
• Watch for frost warnings. Protect susceptible plants.
• Sow wildflower seeds.
