Yes, I start to pull up the spent plants, harvest the squash, save the seeds of various things, dig over the beds and weed. Then I spread manure or stable waste or compost over the beds and leave them. I usually start covering a section where the onions will go so I don't have to dig in the cold when it is time to plant them. I also put a thick layer of straw around the rhubarb and herb bed to protect them. Oh and I also prepare and plant the garlic bed! This year I want to try some onion from seed so in a few weeks I will be sowing those too.
That's good - I will try a few more onion seed then. Slugs or some animal ate a lot of my onion seedlings in their trays. So not many to plant out. I was disappointed. I'll try a few more!
