1. Plant spring-blooming bulbs such as tulips and daffodils.

2.Water evergreens and small trees and shrubs if the fall weather is really dry.

3.Pull up any annual flowers or vegetables felled by frost. Dispose of these in the compost heap; if you suspect disease, throw them in the garbage.

4.Weed. Fall action prevents weeds from getting a head start next spring, saving you work in the long run.
