Dead :(
Funny thing is while cleaning up the garden their are loads of Ladybugs in the soil.
That's crazy! Where were you guys?!?! Lol. Sorry to hear about the lost plant(s).
 
My fence finished and stained with sealant (made from pallets), just have to figure what to mount on top to discourage someone from going over and not attract cops, sharpened nails wont be allowed I believe. Thought of spiny plants but takes too long and too high.

More weeds then grass.
Neighbor told me one of the previous tenants would not do any yard maintenance, the weeds were three feet high, that explains the prolific seeding of weeds.
Gonna use weedX and see how that goes.

I have to say, I wish we had dandelions down here.  The neighbors would truly hate me, but I'd love to just let them grow into a cover crop, and used them for mulch on my raised beds when I mow...  Excellent for that, they are...
 
Been working on building a security cam. Had it out last night to test. 
Raspberry Pi 3+ and 5meg IR camera, didnt realize their was a 8meg, but for testing purposes it works fine, found at night needs extra lights, so have to find some decent ones. Have a regular 8meg Pi camera, will try that tonight.
 
Sample pic, the whole pink tone is the Infrared.

Dont think so however neighbor found their tent in my backyard and I dont know if they threw it over or came in, im guess threw it over, would be awkward otherwise, didnt have the camera running unfortunately, crossover from trail came to this one :(
 
 
Playing around with some camera filters I have for Infrared, some interesting results. Once I get some IR lights Im set :)
 
Regular IR camera
900nm filter
720nm filter
UV filter

No during the day. I need to buy some IR lights to do the night. cheap to build your own, getting the 940nm LED lights, $14, cant see the LEDS, the 850nm versions you can see the red glow, so the pics will look like the 900nm at night. Power is an issue also, the lights will go 60' and 8xAA bateries will last 6hours, so need to set up a solar charging system. So power system is what Im working on now. Looking at the LiPos I got but can be dangerous.
