A
B
November
can
provide
some
wonderful
weather
from
getting
outdoors
and
it
gives
you
a
good
excuse
to
catch
up
on
some
of
those
landscape
and
garden
chores.
Now,
of
course,
the
first
thing
you
probably
are
thinking
about
is
raking
leaves,
if
you
have
leaves
on
the
lawn
and
don't
really
have
too
many
leaves
a
lot
of
times.
An
easy
way
to
take
care
of.
That
is
just
by
putting
the
bagging
attachment
on
your
lawn
mower
as
long
as
you
don't
let
the
leaves
get
too
deep
and
they're
not
wet
that
way.
B
This
is
also
a
good
time
of
year
to
be
thinking
about
good
sanitation
practices
in
both
the
flower
garden,
as
well
as
the
vegetable
garden.
The
frost
has
probably
killed
out
most
of
the
annual
plants
now.
So
this
is
a
good
time
to
pull
those
up
and
get
them
carried
to
the
compost
pile
a
while
you're
pulling
them
up
if
you'll
pull
them
up
roots
and
all
and
just
leave
some
of
this
soil
attached
to
the
roots.
B
Now,
of
course,
you've
got
some
perennials
that
have
also
probably
been
killed
back
by
now
so
go
ahead
and
get
those
cut
back.
You
can
leave
these
seed
heads
though,
on
some
things
like
the
sedum
can
be
kind
of
ornamental
or
the
cone
flowers,
and
that
kind
of
thing
to
seed
pods
can
actually
not
only
be
ornamental,
but
the
birds
like
to
eat
some
of
those
seeds
as
well.
Now,
of
course,
November
is
the
time
to
be
planting
those
spring
flowering
bulbs
like
your
daffodils.
B
If
you
want
to
have
spring
blooms
next
year,
you
can
also
still
plant
pansies,
although
they're
not
going
to
grow
as
much
as
if
you
had
planted
them.
Last
month,
but
they
will
grow
and
survive
and
bloom
for
you
in
the
spring
of
course,
last
month
we
talked
about
fall
being
a
good
time
for
planting
trees
and
shrubs,
and
it's
fine
to
go
ahead
and
do
that
kind
of
planting
this
month
as
well.
B
Make
sure
that
you
are
cutting
back
to
a
side,
branch
or
a
leaf,
node
and,
of
course,
keep
your
eye
on
the
shape
of
that
tree
or
shrub,
so
that
you're
not
doing
some
damage
in
the
landscape
in
the
vegetable
garden.
Hopefully,
the
garlic
and
onions
you
planted
last
month
are
up
and
growing.
You
can
still
plant
those
things
through
the
month
of
November.
If
you
are
fortunate
enough
to
have
some
winter
greens
out,
like
collards
and
kale
now,
they've
had
some
frost
on
them.
B
B
While
you're
cleaning
out
that
garden
shed
don't
forget
to
check
on
the
tools,
your
pruners,
for
example,
may
have
gotten
SAP
built
up
on
on
during
the
summer,
and
a
little
bit
of
mineral
spirits
will
clean
them
up
pretty
good,
then
once
you've
gotten
them
cleaned
up,
they
may
need
some
sharpening.
It's
a
good
idea
to
go
ahead
and
sharpen
them
now,
so
that
they'll
be
ready
when
you're
ready
to
go
to
work
with
them
in
the
spring.
B
It's
a
good
idea
to
put
a
little
spray,
lubricant
or
oil
on
them
before
you
put
them
away
for
the
winter
I.
Also,
don't
forget
if
you've
got
pesticides
stored
in
that
garden,
shed
that
some
things
should
not
be
allowed
to
freeze.
So
it's
a
good
idea
to
check
those
labels
and
make
sure
that
it
doesn't
say
on
that
label
to
not
allow
it
to
freeze
in
case
you've
got
some
things
that
you
need
to
move
into
a
warmer
location
such
as
the
garage
or
other
area.
B
Don't
forget
about
the
garden
hoses
to
make
sure
that
those
garden
hoses
especially,
are
disconnected
from
the
outdoor
faucet,
so
your
faucet
doesn't
freeze,
but
also
coil
them
up
and
put
them
away
for
the
winter
if
you've
put
out
rain
barrels.
So
it's
probably
a
good
idea
to
put
those
rain
barrels
away
if
you
can
put
them
in
storage
for
the
winter,
otherwise
at
least
get
them
drained.
So
there's
not
water
in
them.
B
If
you
carry
those
over,
have
the
flower
buds
starting
to
show
it's
fine
to
go
and
move
them
into
the
regular
living
quarters,
and
of
course,
finally,
this
is
a
really
good
time
to
be
collecting
those
soil
samples
so
that
you
will
be
prepared
to
get
your
garden
started
early
next
spring.
It's
a
good
idea
to
get
these
samples
mailed
off
now
before
the
soil
lab
gets
busy
in
another
month
or
so
so
that
you
can
get
your
results
back.
