Below is my recipe for glazed carrots. I converted a regular recipe into a microwave recipe. It is no quicker, but you won't burn the carrot during the upcoming holiday games ... should they happen.
Today I added another artificial grass mat to my Mary Garden
in the backyard. This one covers up the old dirt and oil stains on the patio concrete
flooring.

What a great improvement. If anyone is interested in a
little quick and easy makeover to improve the look of an area of lawn that lacks
enough sunlight, or as I have done, cover up some badly spotted areas but still
want the natural look of grass, try using some artificial grass.
The product that has worked for me is the ‘Altruistic
Thick Realistic Artificial Grass Mat with drainage holes’. It comes in easy
to customized sizes from 4ft x 58ft to 12ft x 82ft and is worth the price.
Until next time,

P.S. Below are some additional items I placed in the garden.
Praying hands at Mary's feet filled with Fasciculata Tricolor Golden Torch and four Red Abdita air plants.
A couple of Zero Gravity Reclining Chaise Loungers.
Below is today's follow up on my Mary Garden; a.k.a. ‘How my Garden Grows”
parts 1 and 2.
In this first video, I mistakenly named my Gardenias Gladioli. I believe this
is because I love gladioli where I planted them in Kentucky and want to plants
some for next spring.
I go on and talk about how this garden was years in the making and
that by adding plants and supplies to it each year, it is now as seen. In other
words, it is not an instant garden at an enormous one time cost. It took time
and years of learning about each plant and their care to create it.
Making it a Mary Garden was a personal and religious choice as I am a Roman
Catholic. It was a no brainer after seeing one online. I am what a previous Monsignor
called me a "Free thinking Catholic".
As stated in the video above, the plant between the orange bush and lemon
bush is a Plumeria-Frangipani and the flowers will look something like the ones
below.
This is a picture of my Greenhouse and its seeds pots greens, spinach, and Swiss Chard before someone vandalized them.

Someone poked a finger in these seed pots
The video shows the destruction of some of my seed pots and where someone
used a finger to poke into some of the pots. As the shelf had been knocked down,
the pots of Swiss Chards were lying on their sides, and the seeds with most of the
soil are on the ground. I believe this happened last night.
From a psychological standpoint, I understand but do not trust people who
think and behave in such a manner. Nevertheless, I will plant more seeds in these
pots and carry onward.
