Did an autumn chore (5)
I believe the answer is:
raked
'did an autumn chore' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for raked that I've seen before include "Scraped; sloped" , "Collected cuttings" , "Cleared up leaves, say" , "slope" , "Cleared away" .)
