November Check List for zone 7

Mulch over your vegetables beds for overwintering crops with straw.

Put the leaves in your compost bin or mulch the leaves and use as mulch around your garden
or in a handmade wrap for large potted plants.

Plant the last of your spring bulbs. Try some in pots to bring inside to force.

Cover the spinach, lettuce, and other cold hardy plants with a row cover to give them a few more weeks to grow

If you haven't put out your bird feeder do so. Our feathered friends will be looking for food before we know it.

Continue planting trees and shrubs.
