November in the Midwest:

Rake leaves and clean up rose beds.
To help control unwanted pests, remove all rotten fruit from fruit trees and those that have fallen to the ground.
Winter is coming, but you can still plan for spring by planting your favorite spring flowering bulbs.
Clean, fix and sharpen all power and hand tools so they are ready for the next growing season.
If you have a fish pond, drape a net over the pond to collect fallen leaves. Also, add a bubbler to keep oxygen in your pond throughout the cold, frozen winter months.
Clean out bird baths, stock the feeders.
