*Clean, oil, and store lawn mowers.
*Paint any garden structures that need it. (small deck)
*Clean up and burn diseased plants, spread manure, and plow the garden.
*Rake up the fallen leaves and use them as mulch for flowers and shrubs. Hardwood leaves such as oak and chestnut contain more plant food than those from softwood trees.
*To balance all the harvesting, do a little indoor planting, which will liven up the house later. Calla lilies and begonias can be planted now, and paperwhite narcissi can be started.
