It was confusing the day before Veterans Day this year; folks were off, and schools closed. It's usually observed on the actual day of November 11th. And there's a reason for that - a significance to 11-11-11. And why poppies are on the lapels on Veterans Day and in our gardens. 

We chat about the rich history of Veterans Day and the Significance of Poppies on lapels and in our gardens. And wrap up with the wisdom of the lyrics from Turn Off The News (Build A Garden). a song by Lukas Nelson & Promise of the Real.

Welcome to Garden Dilemmas, Delights, and Discoveries.

It's not only about gardens; it's about nature's inspirations, about grasping the glories of the world around us, gathering what we learned from mother nature, and carrying these lessons into our garden of life. So, let's jump in in the spirit of learning from each other. We have lots to talk about.
