November
Plant paperweight narcissus, hyacinths and amaryllis (indoors) for color and aroma.
After a few freezing days begin to mulch roses and other shrubs.
Put natural guards on the bases of tree trunks to prevent mouse damage. There is many to choose from.
Wrap plants in burlap for winter protection.
If you haven't fertilized your lawn or garden yet, do it now.
Now is the best time to take power equipment to the shop for repairs and upkeep.
Add leaves and the last cut grass to compost.
Cover your compost heap or bin with plastic to keep the nutrients from being leached out from winter rain and snow.
Water trees and shrubs until the ground freezes. As you do check and remove diseased foliage. Put anything diseased in the garbage, not the compost.
If you have any left-over bulbs, plant them now.
