Give LAWNS a sharp raking to lift away accumulations of debris.
Continue planting spring-flowering bulbs. PLANT lilies, roses, evergreens.
TIE CLIMBERS (roses and raspberries) securely to their supports, and cut back overlong canes that could whip about and be damaged in winter winds.
CHECK onions, potatoes, and fruit in STORAGE. Remove any that have started to spoil or sprout.
